Real marked work

Names are hidden. Everything else is exactly as the student received it: their working, our marks and our comments.

A GCSE student's answer to a rearranging-formula question, marked M1 M1 A1, 3 out of 3, with a tutor's note

One answer, start to finish

  1. The question. GCSE Higher: rearrange a formula so that t is the subject.
  2. The student’s attempt. Their own working, line by line, exactly as sent to us.
  3. The marks. M1, M1 and A1 written next to the lines that earned them: 3 out of 3.
  4. The note. What the best final answer looks like, so the student writes it that way in the exam.
  5. What happens next. A harder question of the same type in the next test, to check it has stuck.

After every test: a feedback table

Each question with its topic, the marks earned and a comment. Parents see the same table, so it is clear what is going well and what we work on next.
