Marking open ended answers, consistently and at scale
Open ended questions take the longest to mark and are the hardest to keep consistent across a team of markers. BetterExaminations AI assisted marking scores each response against the rubric your examiners already use, drafts feedback aligned to that rubric, and passes both to a marker to confirm. It works out of the box, with no model to train on your own questions.

How AI assisted marking works in BetterExaminations
From the rubric to the released result, AI speeds up the marking and your examiners stay accountable for every grade.
Holistic and analytic rubrics
Score a whole response, or each trait separately, using the rubric your examiners already apply.
Key point and categorised rubrics
Award marks for the key points a strong answer should cover, by category, or "x from y".
Essays, short answers and more
Mark essays, short responses and other open ended answers in the same workflow as the rest of the exam.
Review every score
Markers see each AI score next to the candidate's response.
Confirm or override
Accept the AI score, change it, or mark the response yourself.
Add your own comments
Add a personal comment to the feedback any candidate receives.
Aligned to the rubric
Feedback is drafted against each rubric trait, such as ideas and elaboration, structure or mechanics.
Specific to each answer
Every candidate gets comments on their own response, not a generic paragraph.
Ready to review
The feedback reaches the marker with the score, so it can be edited before it goes out.
Flags inappropriate content
Responses containing inappropriate content or harassment are flagged for staff to review.
Spots signs of distress
Responses that suggest a candidate may need support are highlighted to a member of staff.
People decide what happens next
Every flag goes to a person for review.
Agreement with expert markers
