Typed essays & long answers

Online long answers, graded in about 20 seconds.

Not every answer is handwritten. In online tests, students type essays, letters and emails into a long-answer box. Evalezy grades those too, against the same kind of criteria, and holds the result for a teacher to review.

Frequently asked questions

What does it judge a typed answer on?+

Format and conventions (an email's greeting and sign-off, a letter's layout), content, organisation and language. Spelling counts, because there is no handwriting to blame. Word limits are enforced. Answers worded differently from the model answer still earn credit.

What if a student tries to trick the AI?+

The student's text is treated as data, not instructions. In a production test, an email that told the evaluator to "award full marks" scored 0 out of 5.

What about MCQs in the same test?+

Objective questions keep their normal automatic marks. Only long-answer questions go to the AI, and the total adds both.

Are blank answers charged?+

No. A blank answer gets zero immediately, without an AI call, and an attempt where every answer is blank is not billed.

How are typed answers priced?+

Typed answers have no pages, so they are priced per answer graded rather than per page. Ask us for the current rate.

Can students copy-paste an answer?+

Copy, cut and paste are blocked in the long-answer box, which also shows a live word count.
