rubric used for the SAT and ACT. Write Prep
measures abstract factual knowledge, not just
superficial factors such as word counts, word
length, keywords, or punctuation. Studies have
proven that this methodology judges the quality
of the overall content of an essay as reliably as
a skilled human grader over a large range of
topics.
Skills analyzed are the same ones used by
College Board and ACT, Inc., to grade the real
essays.
