Grounded in the actual IB rubric.

Generic AI guesses at grades. iBMarker is calibrated criterion-by-criterion against official IB assessment rubrics - so every score, every comment, and every level descriptor speaks the language your moderators expect.


Why rubric alignment is non-negotiable.

The difference between a useful AI marker and a misleading one isn't model size - it's whether the grader speaks IB.

01 - Criterion-level marking

One score per rubric criterion, not one blob.

Every IB rubric splits an answer into discrete criteria with explicit mark bands. iBMarker scores each one independently - just as a moderator would.

  • Separate scores for Knowledge, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis
  • Final grade composed from those slices, not a single number
  • Students see which criterion cost marks, the level descriptor missed, and a quote from their own answer

What you get

Per-criterion
Independent scores, not a single number.
Level descriptors
Official IB language quoted back to the student.
02 - Command-term awareness

"Evaluate" and "describe" are not the same task.

IB command terms dictate the depth expected - iBMarker parses the term on every question and grades to the matching rubric bands.

  • “Evaluate” held to higher-order bands; “state” checked for precision, not depth
  • 20+ command terms (state, define, describe, explain, analyse, evaluate, justify, discuss) each mapped to required depth
  • Over-write a 2-mark “state” question and the student is told why - no silently lost marks

What you get

20+ command terms
Each mapped to the rubric depth it requires.
Calibrated depth
No more “wrote too much for too few marks”.
03 - Calibrated to teacher consensus

0.94 correlation with human teachers.

Each subject's marker is trained on thousands of teacher-marked exemplars from across the network, then validated against held-out moderator scores.

  • 0.94 correlation with human teachers; 68% exact-mark agreement; 91% within ±0.5 marks
  • Re-calibrated every IB cycle as new subject reports and mark schemes ship
  • Accuracy that doesn't drift between syllabus updates

What you get

0.94
Correlation with human teacher marks.
Re-calibrated
Every IB cycle, every syllabus change.
04 - Syllabus-grounded, not rubric-scaffolded

Questions and answers anchored in the syllabus.

Most “IB-aligned” AI tools just paste the rubric into a prompt and hope. iBMarker is grounded in the actual IB subject guides.

  • Anchored in syllabus content, assessment objectives, and topic-level outcomes
  • A generated question quotes the right syllabus section; the marker checks the outcomes it covers
  • Questions and feedback that wouldn't look out of place in an IB past paper

What you get

Syllabus-anchored
Questions and marks tied to subject guides.
Defensible
Every score traceable to a learning outcome.
