How marking works
Questions with a right answer are marked the moment pupils submit. Written answers are marked by AI against your mark scheme, and you see every mark in moderation, where you can change it. For each assessment you choose whether results wait for you to review and release them, or go to pupils as soon as marking finishes. A school can require every AI mark to wait for a teacher.
On paper
Print a paper for each pupil, with their name and a code on every page. Pupils write on the paper, you scan the class set, and the answers are read and marked like answers given online.
