GCSE essay feedback that lifts every practice answer
Upload your answer and the assessment objectives or mark scheme from your exam board. Mark scores each objective, quotes your strongest and weakest lines, and gives you the next step — so every practice answer actually moves you up a grade.
Marks against the exact objectives your examiner uses — not generic writing tips.
One thing before we start: I never write a word for you. I mark your draft against your rubric — like a teacher's first pass — so youdo the improving. Check your school's policy on AI feedback, and acknowledge your use of it where required.
How it works
Add your rubric
Upload or paste the criteria your work will actually be marked against — e.g. your board's mark scheme, or the assessment objectives for the question.
Upload your draft
Drop in the PDF (or paste the text). Mark reads it against every criterion and scores it, quoting the exact lines that earned the marks.
Improve and re-mark
Fix what he flagged, run it again, and watch the mark move. That loop is how essays climb to the top grades.
Not sure why you lost marks? Just ask him.
Every marked essay now has a chat. Ask Mark why a criterion landed where it did, what “more analysis” actually means, or where to start on your re-draft — and he'll talk it through with you, pointing to the exact lines in your essay.
He'll never write it for you. He asks the questions a good teacher would, so the improving stays yours.
See it before your marker does
Mark your draft, fix what he flags, watch the mark climb.
Mark scores your draft against your rubric and quotes the exact line behind every mark. You fix the two things holding it back, run it again — and the number moves. That loop is the whole game.
- Marked against your rubric. Your criteria, not a generic template.
- Evidence for every score. The exact line that earned it — or cost you the mark.
- Revise and re-mark. Improve the draft, run it again, and see the mark climb.

The line Mark quoted
“The railways did not simply move people faster — they reshaped the ordinary rhythm of the day, standardising the clocks between towns and turning a distant city into somewhere you could visit and be home from before dark. Bradshaw's timetable soon sat in every household.”
You name the cause — now push it. Add one sentence on the consequence you hint at, and this criterion tips into the top band.
Draft 1
Draft 2
English, Literature and History
From an English Literature essay on your set text to a source question in History, GCSE answers are marked against assessment objectives and level descriptors. Mark scores each objective with the quoted line that earned it — so you know whether to work on your argument, your use of evidence, or your analysis of language and structure.
Turn "add more detail" into something you can act on
The most common feedback — "develop this", "more analysis" — is hard to act on. Because Mark ties every point to an objective and a line in your answer, you get a specific, fixable next step instead of a general comment.
