FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common IB grading questions.

1

Which IB workflows does Rubric AI support?

Rubric AI is built for TOK, Extended Essay, Internal Assessment, and IB English Paper 1/2 feedback workflows. You can also customize criteria for class-specific rubrics.

2

Does it work for multiple drafts?

Yes. Use it to deliver rapid feedback for formative drafts and final submissions.

3

Does Rubric AI replace teacher judgment?

No. Rubric AI generates first-pass, rubric-aligned feedback drafts. Teachers should review the essay evidence, score rationale, comment tone, and any possible bias or inaccuracy before sharing feedback with students.

4

Can I edit the feedback before students see it?

Yes. You can review, edit, refine, or replace feedback before sharing anything with students.

5

How should I handle student essay data?

Use Rubric AI for teacher-controlled feedback drafts and avoid uploading unnecessary student identifiers. For data practices, deletion requests, and school documentation, review the privacy policy or contact the Rubric AI team.

6

How does the free grading trial work?

New accounts include one free grading trial. Paid plans add credits for continued grading, with one-time, monthly, yearly, and school options available on the pricing page.

7

How does this fit with IB guidance on AI?

IB's public AI guidance encourages critical, ethical use of AI tools and keeps human judgment central to assessment. Rubric AI supports that workflow by keeping AI output as teacher-reviewed drafts. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the IB and does not replace official IB marking.
