A new study published on arXiv details the use of GPT-5.5 for grading handwritten physics assessments, including a national Physics Olympiad examination and a university quantum-mechanics course. The AI model demonstrated high correlations (0.91-0.97) with official scores and successfully identified the same top-five students for an Olympiad team selection. While effective for theory-based assessments with detailed rubrics, the AI faced challenges with exact partial-credit grading, particularly in experimental work, suggesting its best use as a second reader or audit tool under human supervision.
