Be the Examiner
Paper 1 Hub
Experience the same standardisation process real OCR examiners go through. Annotate student responses with Assessment Objectives, award marks, and see how your judgements compare to the mark scheme.
Annotate with AOs
Click stamps onto the response text to identify where each Assessment Objective is demonstrated — just like an examiner.
Award a Mark
Decide how many marks the response deserves based on the mark scheme criteria. Apply the standard — not your gut.
Check & Calibrate
See whether your mark and AO pattern match the examiner's decision. Understand the rationale behind every mark.
