What students say after four weeks

Students across the UK use Marked to push past plateaus and into top GCSE bands.

Maya O.

Year 11 · AQA

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.

Year 10 · Edexcel

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

Consistent progress

Aaliyah R.

Year 11 · OCR

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

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

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.
