grade exams

Mark student assessments

To grade exams is to evaluate and score tests, assigning marks based on correctness or quality of responses.

Teachers grade exams by hand or with automated systems.

The task often implies tedium: I spent the whole weekend grading exams.

Sometimes shortened to just grade: I have a stack of papers to grade.
