A clear workflow for every assessment

How gradedrive fits into your marking process

Create an assessment, upload your documents, let our advanced in-house system process them, then review and export when you are happy with the results.

Subject-based setup in a few clicks

Email notification when marking is ready

Review first, then export to CSV

While you wait

Keep moving while gradedrive handles the processing

After submission, you do not need to stay on the page. We will process the documents, keep the workflow secure, and let you know when the results are ready.

Typical turnaround

Marking is typically ready in 5 to 10 minutes depending on the number of documents.

Email notification

You receive an email when the marking is ready, so you can come back at the right time.

Secure throughout

Mark schemes and submission scans stay protected while they are uploaded, processed, and prepared for review.

02
Select the subject
Choose the subject that matches the assessment before you continue with the upload.

Add submission scans
Upload at least one student submission scan to begin the marking run.
05
Submit for processing
Once everything is in place, submit the assessment and our advanced in-house system will process the documents securely.
06
Receive an email when ready
We will email you as soon as the marking is ready to review.
07
Review and confirm the results
Open the completed assessment, check the results, and confirm that you are happy with them.
08
Export as CSV
Download the final marks as a CSV file for reporting, spreadsheets, or your wider workflow.

Final checks

You stay in control at the end of the process

gradedrive helps you move faster, but the final review is still yours. Check the output, confirm you agree with it, and then export the results.

Review with confidence
Open the completed assessment and inspect the results before anything is finalised.
Confirm the outcome
When you agree with the results, confirm them so your final marks are clearly locked in.
Export the results
Download a CSV file that is ready for spreadsheets, reporting, or the next step in your school workflow.
