2. Enable AI Evaluation

  1. Toggle on AI Check (ChatGPT).
  2. Under Prompt, describe:
    Correct answer: exact range or phrasing you expect
    Acceptable answer: wider range or equivalent phrasing
  3. Save your prompt.

3. Define Correct vs. Acceptable

CategoryExample

4. Review and Adjust AI Ratings

    Override the AI rating

5. Tips
