Writing evaluation vs. grammar checking
A grammar checker like Grammarly scans your text for specific errors, subject-verb agreement, spelling, punctuation, and suggests corrections as you type. Examinizer's writing evaluation does something different: it reads your complete response and judges the overall quality against CEFR writing descriptors, producing a level rather than a correction list. Both tools are useful, but they answer different questions: one asks "what's wrong with this sentence", the other asks "what level is this writing overall".
What the AI evaluates
Four core areas feed into your writing level: grammatical accuracy and range (correct use of varied structures, not just simple sentences), vocabulary appropriate to the topic and register, coherence and how well your ideas connect into a logical whole, and whether your response actually fulfills the task the prompt asked for.
How this maps to a CEFR level
A B1 writing sample typically handles simple, connected text on familiar topics with occasional grammar slips. A C1 sample shows flexible, accurate language across a wider range of structures and vocabulary, with clear organization even in more complex or abstract topics. The AI evaluation compares your sample against these same descriptors to place your result.
Getting the most useful result
Write naturally and at a reasonable length, 100 to 200 words for most prompts, addressing the actual question asked rather than a memorized general response, since the evaluation weighs task completion alongside language quality.

Common questions
Grammarly focuses primarily on identifying and correcting individual errors as you write. Examinizer's writing evaluation assesses your overall writing sample against CEFR criteria, grammar accuracy, vocabulary range, coherence, task completion, to produce a level, not a list of corrections.
Grammatical accuracy and range (are you using varied sentence structures correctly), vocabulary sophistication and appropriacy, how well ideas connect and flow, and whether your response actually addresses the given prompt.
Most prompts ask for 100 to 200 words, enough for reliable evaluation across all four criteria without requiring a lengthy essay.
Your result shows your CEFR writing level and a category breakdown, giving you a clear sense of where your writing stands, though it is not a line-by-line editing service.
