WritePrep Essay Analysis, an add-on to the Online StudyGuide, gives your students instant, reliable scores for their SAT and ACT practice essays.
Accurate, reliable grading
WritePrep uses the same grading rubric used for the SAT and ACT. Latent Semantic Analysis (LSA), which has been extensively researched and tested, accurately grades student essays. This sophisticated technology measures abstract factual knowledge, not just superficial factors such as word counts, word length, keywords, or punctuation. Studies have shown 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.
Robust analysis, instantly
Detailed feedback is an integral component of TCA’s test prep system. In addition to a score, WritePrep gives both students and teachers a robust analysis of each student's ability to compose an essay. It is specifically designed to analyze the same skills used by the College Board and ACT, Inc., to grade the real essays. These include:
- Development of point of view and critical thinking
- Organization and focus
- Use of language and vocabulary
- Sentence structure variety
- Grammar, usage, and mechanics
Students can then hone their skills using interactive lessons, quizzes, and strategies to make a mark improvement in those areas.
