SNAP & MARKEVERY SUBJECT

Snap any GCSE answer and get it marked

Snap & Mark works with every GCSE subject, from Maths and the sciences to History, languages and English. Photograph a handwritten answer or type it in, and you get marks out of the total with feedback on what to do next.

  1. 1

    Snap your answer

    Take a photo of your handwritten answer, or upload a PDF scan of up to 8 pages.

  2. 2

    We type it up for you

    Your handwriting is copied word for word, spelling mistakes included, with maths and science written properly, such as x², H₂O and →.

  3. 3

    We check it belongs together

    Four checks make sure your subject, question and answer all match. An answer to a different question scores 0, so the marks mean something.

  4. 4

    Get your mark and feedback

    You get marks out of the total, what went well, what to improve, and better versions of your weakest sentences.

Less stress. More progress.

+2 grades by the next mock

I was stuck on a 5 for ages. The AO2 feedback was so specific I knew exactly what to fix. Got a 7 in my mock the next week.

Tomas K.

Consistent progress

Honestly feels like a real examiner, not a chatbot. The Improve My Answer feature is unreal. It's become part of my revision routine.

Aaliyah R.

+1 band in English

Same answer, same grade, every time. That consistency is what made me trust it. My English grade has gone up by a whole band.

More confident in exams

Quote flashcards + unseen poetry feedback are the best part for me. It tells me what I missed without making me feel stupid.

FAQ

Questions students
and parents ask

Everything you need to know about Marked, from how it works to exam boards and pricing.

Your answer is read against the exam board's own published level descriptors, and the grade is then computed in code rather than asked of a chatbot. Every grade records the level it matched, the mark band it came from and the descriptor wording behind it, so you can always see the reasoning. Because the maths is deterministic, the same answer returns the same grade every time.

Real board mark schemesSame answer, same gradeMarks from the real tariff

AQA, Edexcel (Pearson), OCR and WJEC/Eduqas. Tasks, language and feedback adapt to the board you select during onboarding, and you can change it any time.

No. Marked marks what you write and shows you exactly how to improve. The Improve My Answer premium tool rewrites a marked answer at the next grade band so you can see what to add, but only after your own attempt has been graded.

ChatGPT is a generalist that can produce great essays, but its grades drift, its feedback is generic, and it can hallucinate mark schemes. Marked is a marking algorithm. Grades are computed in code, feedback is anchored to AOs, and outputs are validated end-to-end.

No card is required for the free tier. You get 5 marked submissions per week, instant 1–9 grades and core feedback. Pro unlocks unlimited marking, the full AO breakdown and the Improve My Answer tool.

Your submissions are stored only against your own account and are never used to train external models. You can request export or deletion of your submission history from the dashboard at any time.

Marked is built for Years 7–11. Foundation tasks (Y7–9) focus on building writing fundamentals; GCSE tasks (Y10–11) follow exam-board paper structures.

Yes. The Family plan gives a parent their own read-only dashboard across every child in the household, plus an optional weekly email summary. It shows progress, revision consistency and what to work on next in plain English, with no exam jargon. Teacher and school dashboards are not built yet.

Your commission is a share of what each customer actually pays, so their first payment, which carries their 10% referral discount, earns a little less than the figures above; every payment after it is at full price.
