Grade your LEQ freeHow it works
Paste your LEQ draft
Include the thesis and body paragraphs from a timed practice LEQ. Name the reasoning skill you chose if it is not obvious from the prompt.
Score the 6-point LEQ rubric
FRQuick checks thesis, contextualization, evidence, and analysis/reasoning — the AP LEQ grader categories readers use every June.
Fix the reasoning chain
Most LEQ points are lost when facts never connect. Use the feedback to rewrite causal links or comparisons, then re-grade.
The 6-point College Board LEQ rubric
The LEQ drops the document points from the DBQ and rewards a historical reasoning skill across the whole essay. This AP LEQ grader AI scores that 6-point checklist directly. Course tools reuse the same checklist with course-specific defaults.
Total points: 6
- Thesis / claim0–1
- A historically defensible claim that sets up a line of reasoning for the chosen prompt.
- Contextualization0–1
- Situate the argument in a broader historical context beyond the prompt's immediate frame.
- Evidence0–2
- Provide specific historical evidence, then use it to support an argument rather than list facts.
- Analysis and reasoning0–2
- Structure the essay around comparison, causation, or continuity/change, plus complexity.
