Understand your grading criteria
A rubric checker compares your draft with the criteria and performance levels in your grading rubric. RubriCheck helps you see where the assignment meets those expectations, where evidence is missing, and what to revise before you submit.

The rubric defines the review. If it awards points for evidence, organization, and reflection, those are the areas to examine in your draft. A requirement such as a source count or a specific section needs to appear in the rubric or the instructions you provide; the tool cannot infer your instructor's unstated expectations.
Include criterion names, point values or weights, and the descriptions for each performance level. Check that an uploaded table has readable row and column headings. Missing descriptors can make the difference between satisfactory and excellent work difficult to judge.
Upload the assignment alongside the rubric, or paste both texts into their separate fields. RubriCheck accepts PDF, DOCX, TXT, PNG, JPG, and JPEG files. For images, make sure the text is readable and no rubric rows or assignment pages are cut off.
Read the estimated score range alongside the criteria. Find one unmet requirement, locate the relevant passage, and make a specific change. After revising, check the draft against the original rubric again; a score estimate is guidance for review, not an official grade.
Use each performance descriptor to ask a question you can answer with evidence from your draft.
| Rubric requirement | Question to ask | Evidence to locate |
|---|---|---|
| Clear argument | Does my opening state a position that the paper supports? | The thesis and the claims in each body section. |
| Relevant evidence | Does each major claim have support and an explanation? | A source, example, or result linked to each claim. |
| Organization | Can the reader follow the reasoning between sections? | Topic sentences and transitions that connect the argument. |
Illustrative checklist. Your instructor's rubric determines the criteria and weights for your assignment.
A rubric checker reviews the criteria you provide, which may include reasoning, evidence, structure, or subject knowledge. Grammar is one possible criterion. A grammar checker mainly helps with sentence-level writing issues.
RubriCheck needs rubric criteria to evaluate the draft. If you only have assignment instructions, first turn the explicit requirements into a review checklist. Ask your instructor about any missing weights or grading expectations.
RubriCheck includes 3 free trial evaluations. Detailed criterion feedback and Strict mode require credits or Pro; rewrite suggestions require Pro. See pricing for the current plan details.
