About OpenEssayMe

OpenEssayMe is writing practice for adults, for the GED, College Research Writing and other major writing exams, made by experienced educators.

Who it is for

  • GED candidates

    Adults getting ready for the GED Reasoning Through Language Arts test: the essay, reading and grammar.

  • College writers

    GED graduates and first-year college students taking College Research Writing.

  • Teachers

    Teachers who lead a class: they share one class code, set assignments and see essay and practice scores in one gradebook.

  • Parents

    Parents and other adults who follow a student's progress. Any student can link one with a parent code.

How it is made

OpenEssayMe is planned and made by experienced educators.

They use their classroom experience to mirror the real test and the real writing process.

Every question and exam is checked before students see it.

What makes it different

  • Mirrors the real test

    The same kind of writing as the GED or College Research Writing, scored against a rubric that follows each one's own guidelines.

  • Timed practice and mock exams

    Write against the clock as on test day, then take a mock exam when you feel ready.

  • Feedback in seconds

    Every answer explains why it is right or what to fix, and an essay comes back scored, with feedback, in seconds.

  • No ads, and no ad trackers

    Nothing on the page competes with your writing.

  • In the app, talk with the OpenEssayMe Tutor: type or speak your question, and listen to its answer read aloud.
  • While you write a practice essay, highlight the passages, keep notes and look up a word.
  • Your Progress page keeps your past essays, practice sets and mock exams, each with its feedback.

Our system scores your essay or research paper against a rubric that follows the exam's own guidelines, built by experienced educators. In a class, your teacher can add their own score beside it.

Every page works with a keyboard and a screen reader, the text meets the WCAG AA contrast standard, and motion stops when your device asks for less.

See it for yourself.

Free to start. Your work saves itself.
