Check this out! I woke up this morning, accessed my Online Course and went to ScoreWrite, CB’s online essay grading system.
So, I copy/paste the exact essay posted on #1 in this thread, and …guess what?.. BAM!..“Here you received a score of 6 from the equivalent of one reader indicating a potential score of 11 - 12.” By the way, the topic was something about wisdom and wise people which makes my essay irrelevant.

In my sense, this tells two things about ScoreWrite:

1. It is not a human checking, as PeteSAT previously wrote somewhere.

2. It only checks length, misspelling and other “mechanical” qualities. It knows s*it about flow of ideas!

What do you think?
