AI Exam Grader for Tests, Quizzes and Board Exams

Exam marking has the highest stakes and the tightest deadlines. Proctor AI is an AI exam grader that reads handwritten scripts, scores each question against your marking scheme, and returns results for the whole cohort in minutes, with teachers reviewing and approving every mark.

It handles mixed papers, objective sections, descriptive answers, math working, and diagrams in a single exam.

How an exam is graded

  1. Load the paper and scheme: Add the question paper and your marking scheme, or describe it in a prompt.
  2. Upload the scripts: One PDF of the whole cohort's answer sheets; the agent splits them.
  3. Score every question: Each answer is graded against the scheme, with partial credit where you allow it.
  4. Run integrity checks: The agent flags copying and AI-written answers across the cohort.
  5. Review and release: Approve the marks and export results and analytics.

How fast is exam grading?

A cohort of a few hundred scripts typically grades in well under an hour, compared with many hours of manual marking.
