Upload your own draft and the assignment rubric, and AI checks each rubric point against what you wrote. You get a pass or gap for every point and where to fix it, without it rewriting your work.

## How can I check my essay against the rubric before I submit it?

Attach your draft and the rubric to a chat and ask the AI to mark each rubric point met, partly met or missing, with quotes from your draft. Gemini, ChatGPT and Claude can all read both files. It fits students who want to catch gaps before a deadline, and parents helping a teen check their own work. Tell it not to rewrite anything, and check your school's AI policy first.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I've attached my own draft for [THE ASSIGNMENT, e.g. a history essay on the New Deal] and the teacher's rubric. Don't rewrite my work. Go through the rubric one point at a time. For each point, tell me: met, partly met or missing. For met and partly met, quote the sentence from my draft that does it. For partly met and missing, tell me in one sentence what's lacking and where in my draft it would fit best. Also check the basic requirements: [BASIC REQUIREMENTS, e.g. 1,200 words, 4 sources, MLA format]. End with the three changes that would raise my grade the most, ranked, and keep every suggestion in my own voice and level.
```

## Step by step

1. Save your draft and the assignment rubric as files or copy their text
2. Start a new chat and attach both
3. Paste the prompt below and fill in the brackets
4. Fix the gaps yourself, then run the check again

## What you'll get

A rubric-by-rubric checklist marked met, partly met or missing, with quotes from your draft, plus the three fixes that matter most.
