FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to common IB grading questions.

1

Does Rubric AI follow TOK assessment criteria?

Rubric AI uses TOK-aligned criteria for claim, counterclaim, example, and knowledge-question feedback. Teachers should still calibrate the final feedback against their current TOK guidance.

2

Can I customize TOK criteria for my class?

You can add or edit rubric criteria to align with your internal calibration or departmental guidance.

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 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.

6

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.
