For teachers
FRQuick scores AP-style essays on published College Board rubrics in about 30 seconds — so the drafts you never had time to grade still come back marked.
FRQuick is a free AI essay grader that scores AP-style essays against published College Board rubrics in about 30 seconds, with no student account required. Teachers use it to give students unlimited formative practice between the essays a teacher grades personally. In FRQuick's published June 2026 benchmark on 141 human-graded AP essays, scores landed within one point of a trained reader 94.7% of the time (average QWK 0.88, mean absolute error 0.50 points). It is a practice tool, not an official score and not a replacement for teacher grading.
Essay practice is limited by how fast essays come back, not by how many students are willing to write. FRQuick removes that ceiling for the drafts you were never going to grade personally.
Drafts
The draft you receive is the second one. Students submit, read the rubric-row breakdown, revise, and hand you something past the obvious problems — so your comments go to argument and evidence instead of a missing thesis.
Volume
Thirty essays at six minutes each is three hours. That arithmetic is why most classes write far fewer timed essays than students need. FRQuick has no per-essay cost to you, so practice frequency stops being limited by your evenings.
Rubrics
Every score comes with the reasoning behind it and quoted lines from the student's own essay. Students see why evidence earned two points instead of three, which is the part that transfers to the next essay.
Catch-up
Students who miss a timed write, or who want extra reps before the exam, get rubric feedback without adding a stack to your desk or waiting for you to return it.
Paste one of your own prompts and a student essay — or an essay you have already scored — and compare what comes back against your own marks. No account needed.
