For WACE English.

Edexia is the only WACE Aligned AI grading tool built specifically for WACE English. Calibrated to official rubrics, it supports every text on the WACE study list across Comprehending, Responding, and Composing.

Built on the SCSA Rubric

Every criterion and grade descriptor from the SCSA English rubric is built into Edexia's grading system. The AI evaluates essays against official SCSA standards. A team of experienced WACE English educators trains and validates the system on an ongoing basis.

Every Text on the Study List

For each text, Edexia maintains a knowledge base of themes, authorial intent, key passages, and critical context. This means the AI understands what a strong essay about that specific text looks like, not just what a generically good essay looks like.

Comprehending, Responding, and Composing

Edexia supports every component of WACE English across Units 3 and 4. Students respond to texts through analytical, interpretive, and persuasive writing; compose imaginative, persuasive, and interpretive texts of their own; and prepare for the ATAR examination's three sections: Comprehending, Responding, and Composing. Each component uses its own rubric mapping and assessment criteria.

School Assessments, Mocks, and ATAR Preparation

Edexia is used for school-based assessments, semester examinations, and ATAR examination practice throughout the WACE English year. Teachers can run full classes through Edexia, then review and moderate the AI grades as a department. This makes moderation faster and gives every student detailed, criterion-level feedback that would be impossible to write by hand at scale.

In a trial across 579 essays at St Bernard's College, Edexia achieved 81.2% exact agreement with teacher grades and 98.3% within one grade band. Read more about accuracy.
