Scored against the standard published point categories for this format. Because it is your own prompt there is no official scoring guide behind it, so treat this as practice feedback rather than a predicted score. How we tested the grader.

AimFive exists because the AP rubric isn't taught well in most classrooms — and because students grinding 80 hours on a DBQ deserve to know which rubric points they actually earned.

The Spark

A student writes a DBQ. Gets it back: "Good, but needs more analysis." That's it. No rubric breakdown. No explanation of which of the 7 rubric points they earned. The teacher meant well; they're grading 90 essays a week. But the student walks away knowing one thing: "I'm good. But not 5-good." With no idea why.

Multiply that across every AP class, every weekend, every spring of every year. The single biggest gap in AP prep isn't content — it's feedback.

What We Built

AimFive automates the rubric grading: every DBQ, LEQ, SAQ, FRQ, AAQ, EBQ, scored point-by-point against the actual College Board rubric. The student gets back not "good but" — but exactly which points they earned, which they missed, and one specific revision per missed point.

What We Won't Do

  • Sell student data. We don't run ads.
  • Paywall features that were previously free. Ever.
  • Claim affiliation with College Board.
  • Replace teachers. Teachers + AimFive > teachers alone.

Where We're Going

The free teacher Pro program is live. The outcome study is planned. Native mobile apps and an annual State of AP report are on the roadmap. None of these are shipped yet — when each lands we'll say so on our changelog.

We're independent. No venture capital, no exit-driven growth pressure. We're building this because the rubric matters, and because students deserve to know which rubric points they earned.
