Real rubrics, real essays, real feedback.

Four sample evaluations from courses Markmate is built for. Names anonymised, structures intact. This is what an evaluation actually looks like.

The Markmate evaluation surface

One screen. Every criterion. Concrete next steps.

Each evaluation card below is what Markmate hands back inside the app. The header gives the overall level and score; the body shows every rubric criterion individually; the footer (not shown here) has the per-criterion feedback sentence.

Different courses, same loop.

IB English HL · Literary analysis

Symbolism in The Great Gatsby

Version v2

MEET17 / 20
Thesis clarityMWE5 / 5
Textual evidenceMEET4 / 5
Analysis depthMEET4 / 5
MechanicsDEV4 / 5

What Markmate flagged

  • →Thesis moved to the final sentence of para 1 in v2 — now reads as a claim, not a topic.
  • →Mechanics still sitting on DEV — comma splice after the para-3 quote.
  • →Next pass should add a close-read sentence after the para-2 quote — currently the quote sits alone.

IB History HL · Paper 2 essay

Causes of WWI — Long-term vs short-term

Version v1

DEV11 / 20
Knowledge and understandingMEET5 / 6
Analysis and critical thinkingDEV3 / 6
HistoriographyDEV2 / 4
Structure and clarityMEET3 / 4

What Markmate flagged

  • →Strong factual recall in para 2 and 4 — dates and figures are sharp.
  • →Analysis is largely narrative, not argumentative. Each para needs a 'so what' sentence.
  • →Historiography missing entirely. Even one named historian (Fischer, Clark) would move this to MEET.

IB Biology HL · Internal assessment

Enzyme activity at varying pH

Version v3

MWE22 / 24
Personal engagementMWE2 / 2
ExplorationMWE6 / 6
AnalysisMEET5 / 6
EvaluationMWE6 / 6
CommunicationMWE3 / 4

What Markmate flagged

  • →Evaluation section is unusually strong — the limitations table addresses precision and accuracy separately.
  • →Analysis on MEET because the standard-deviation calculation is shown without explanation of why SD was chosen over IQR.
  • →Communication: figure 3 caption is missing units. One-line fix.

EvaluatingDEV5 / 8

What Markmate flagged

  • →Ideation pages are exceptional — four divergent concepts, with reasoned rejection of three.
  • →Evaluating criterion stuck on DEV: testing methodology is named but results aren't compared against the original brief.
  • →Add one paragraph mapping each test outcome back to a design specification from page 4.

What this isn't

Markmate is a sparring partner, not a verdict.

Not the official mark

The grade your teacher gives is the one that counts. Markmate exists so the gap between drafts is faster to close.

Not 100% accurate

AI grading is fast and useful, never perfect. We surface confidence cues but you should still cross-check the tough calls.

Not a tutor

Markmate won't write the next sentence for you. It tells you which one needs rewriting, and why — the rewrite is yours.

Not a single-pass tool

The loop matters. Most students see the biggest jump between v1 and v2 — give yourself the chance to iterate.
