Rubric Builder
Add achievement levels with their points, then criteria with a descriptor for each level. The rubric prints as a landscape grid with a Score column, and the level header repeats on every page of a long rubric.
Choose unweighted scoring, or weights that add up to 100% or to 1. The weights are checked exactly before the document is created, and the maximum score is printed for you.

How to use the Rubric Builder
- Choose a layout: low-ink, spacious, or a rubric with a separate scoring sheet.
- Add the achievement levels, best first, each with its points.
- Add criteria. For each one add descriptors and choose the level each describes.
- Choose the scoring: unweighted, percentage weights or fractional weights, and give each criterion its weight.
- Choose Create document, check the pages, then download the PDF.
Example
A persuasive-writing rubric with four criteria (position 25%, evidence 35%, structure 25%, language 15%) across four levels from Excellent (4) to Beginning (1), printed on A4 landscape with a total out of 100%.
What it does not do
- It does not mark work or store results; the score boxes are filled in by hand.
- Up to six levels fit across an A4 landscape page.
- A criterion row must fit on one page; very long descriptors need shortening.
- Up to 250 pages and 500 entries in any list.
