For Google Classroom and paper tests

Grade a class set in minutes. Approve every mark yourself.

Four steps, shown with the real app and a sample class.

Built around how teachers actually mark

Multiple choice is checked exactly. Written answers are marked the way you would, point by point.

  • Marks against your rubric

    Each rubric point gets its own mark, with the student’s words quoted as evidence and a line of feedback.

  • Flags what it isn’t sure of

    Unclear handwriting, very short answers and anything unusual wait for you, with the reason shown.

  • Reads handwriting

    Photograph a test of any length. Each numbered answer is read, and the student is found from the name on the paper.

  • Misreads are free to fix

    If a word was read wrongly, correct it and the answer is graded again at no charge.

  • Grades in the background

    Send a stack of papers and carry on. You get a notice when they’re graded.

  • Marked papers as PDFs

    Download each student’s graded paper, or the whole class at once, to hand back or keep.

Every mark comes with its reason

SpeedGrade doesn’t hand you a number and ask you to trust it. Each rubric point shows what the student wrote, why it earned the mark or didn’t, and the feedback the student will see.

  • The student’s words quoted as evidence
  • Feedback you can keep or rewrite
  • Change the score or fix the reading in one tap

  • Shows which marks are still drafts
  • Rubric points spelled out for written answers
