How to use GradeCheck to improve your assignments

GradeCheck gives you an AI-generated grade and written feedback on your essay or assignment in seconds — before you submit it. This guide walks you through exactly how to use it, what to look for in the feedback, and how to turn the result into a better final draft.

Step-by-step: getting your grade

Step 1

Write or finish your draft

GradeCheck works best when you have a complete or near-complete draft — not just an outline. The more finished your text is, the more useful the feedback will be. A minimum of around 150–200 words gives the AI enough to work with for most assignments.

Step 2

Paste your text into GradeCheck

Go to gradecheck.eu and paste your full essay or assignment into the text field. You can paste directly from a Word document, Google Doc, or any text editor. There is no need to format it — plain text works fine.

Step 3

Select your country or grading system

Use the country dropdown to choose the grading system your teacher or institution uses. GradeCheck supports more than 190 countries and regional systems. If you are in Denmark, select Denmark to get a grade on the 7-trinsskala. If you are writing for a US high school or university, select the United States to get an A–F letter grade and GPA equivalent.

Step 4

Click "Grade my work"

Press the button and wait a few seconds. GradeCheck's AI will analyse your text and generate a response. Most gradings complete in under 10 seconds, though longer texts may take a little more time.

Step 5

Read your grade and feedback carefully

You will see an estimated grade on your selected scale, followed by a written breakdown. The feedback typically covers what you did well, where the text falls short, and specific suggestions for improvement. Read it as you would read a teacher's comment — not as a final verdict, but as useful input.

How to use the feedback to improve your work

Getting the grade is only half the value. The written feedback is where you make real gains. Here is how to use it effectively:

Start with the weaknesses. If the feedback says your argumentation is thin, go back to each claim and ask yourself: do I actually support this with evidence? If the feedback notes that your conclusion is weak, check whether it genuinely summarises your argument or just repeats your introduction.

Then revise your draft. Make the specific changes the feedback identifies, then run GradeCheck again. Seeing your grade move up — or understanding why it does not — teaches you far more than just reading the feedback once.

Do not chase a perfect score. The goal is to understand what a strong piece of work looks like in your subject and level. Use GradeCheck as a mirror, not a target.

Tip: GradeCheck is not a replacement for your teacher's feedback. It is a fast, objective first opinion that helps you improve your draft before your teacher sees it. The best students use both.

What subjects does GradeCheck work for?

GradeCheck works best for text-based assignments: essays, written analyses, short answers, and structured arguments. It handles most academic subjects — history, literature, social science, business, philosophy, language subjects — as well as general English writing. It is less suited to maths, coding, or purely technical lab reports, where the answer is either right or wrong rather than a matter of quality of writing and argumentation.

Frequently asked questions

Is GradeCheck free? Yes. The core grading feature is free, with a weekly limit for free users. A paid plan is available for unlimited access.

Do I need to create an account? No. Free users can grade without any account or sign-up.

Will my text be shared or stored? No. Your submitted text is used to generate feedback and is not stored permanently or shared with advertisers. See the Privacy Policy for details.

How accurate is the grade? GradeCheck gives an estimate based on the criteria teachers typically use. It correlates well with real grades for well-structured assignments, but it is not a guarantee — it is a tool to help you improve, not a prediction of your exact final mark.
