Score your CV before an organization does

Paste your CV text and get a total out of 100 against nine checks drawn from what organizations screen on in the first pass — boards named, grade band named, outcomes with numbers attached, action verbs, length, contact details, compliance and qualification, date consistency and filler.

This is a deterministic rule check written out in full on this page. There is no model involved and nothing you paste leaves this tab.

How it works

Nine rules, not a judgement
Each check is a pattern rule you can read on this page. The same text always produces the same score, and you can see which rule took the points.
Nothing is uploaded
The rules run in this tab. Your CV is never sent to a server, never stored and never used for anything else.
Two minutes, no account
Paste, press, read the fixes in order of how many points each is worth. Come back as often as you edit.

Paste your CV text

Open your CV, select all, copy, paste here. Formatting does not matter — the checks read words, numbers and line breaks.

0 words pasted

No result yet

Paste the text and the score appears here

You will get a total out of 100, a band, and each of the nine checks with what the rule found in your text and the specific next edit. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored — close the tab and it is gone.

Paste the whole document, not just one section — length and date consistency are two of the nine checks.
Plain text is fine. Bullet characters, tabs and stray line breaks do not change the result.
Two pages of a real CV is around 400–900 words, which is the band the length check rewards.

The rubric

Nine checks, 100 points, all of them printed here

Every point is awarded by a rule you can read below, so the same text always produces the same score. If you disagree with a weighting, you can see exactly what you are disagreeing with.

Curricula named
14
IB, PYP/MYP/DP, IGCSE, Cambridge, A-Level, British, American, AP, CBSE, ICSE, Montessori, EYFS, IPC or an exam board. Two or more for full marks.
Phase or year groups named
10
Year groups, grades, key stages, or the words Primary, Secondary, Early Years, Sixth Form. Two or more for full marks.
Outcomes with numbers attached
18
Numbers or percentages within 70 characters of a result word. Three or more for full marks.
Bullets opening with an action verb
12
Share of experience bullets starting with led, raised, designed, moderated and similar, rather than "responsible for".
Length band
10
400–900 words is roughly two pages. Outside that band scores partial or nothing.
Contact details an organization can actually reach
8
An email address, and a phone number carrying an international dialling code.
Safeguarding and qualification stated
12
Safeguarding, child protection, DBS, police clearance or equivalent, plus a named teaching qualification.
Employment dates parseable
8
Date ranges a reader or a parser can resolve, in one consistent format.
Plain language, low filler
8
Eight points, less two for every stock phrase such as passionate, results-driven or team player.

What this is not

It is not a model, and it is not a judgement of your teaching. It is a set of pattern rules that mirror what a screening reader looks for in the first pass — nine of the things most often missing from an otherwise strong application.

After the score

A low score is usually structure, not writing

Most CVs that fall short here are missing the board-and-grade line, the numbers behind the claims, or the compliance block — not the ability to write. Both of these rebuild the document rather than polish it.
