Trained and Untrained Essay Prompts

If you are subscribed to a program content bundle that includes essay prompt functionality, you can write custom essay prompts. Custom essay prompts, also known as untrained prompts, are evaluated on an overall score.

Some programs also provide trained essay prompts that provide feedback on six writing traits. The Savvas EssayScorer system scores these prompts by evaluating previous student essays written to these prompts at the specified grade level and scored by professional, human scorers.
