Review, edit, and finalize

Most AI graders apply a general quality scale to any essay. EnlightenAI is built around the AP lang rubric specifically, scoring each of the three rows independently the way an AP reader would.
Use it as an AP rhetorical analysis grader for one unit and an argument essay grader for the next. The rubric stays the same, the AI carries your interpretation of each row across every FRQ type.
For every essay it scores, EnlightenAI:
Evaluates thesis clarity and defensibility against the AP standard
Judges evidence selection depth and the quality of student commentary
Identifies sophistication markers by analyzing syntax and word choice
Applies the same rubric interpretation to every essay in the set


When you teach AP Lang across multiple sections, scoring drift is the default. What earns a 3 on Evidence and Commentary in period 2 should mean the same thing in period 6. EnlightenAI applies the same rubric standard to every essay in every section, eliminating drift across a long grading session.
Norm-scoring before high-stakes practice assessments
Defensible, comparable scores across all class sections
EnlightenAI turns essay-level scores into class-level patterns. See which argument moves students consistently miss, which sophistication criteria aren’t landing, and where Evidence and Commentary scores cluster, then use that data to design targeted mini-lessons before the next timed write.
