For heads of department and schools

One standard for every class.

Mark My Tests helps departments mark shared tests against one agreed standard. Teachers blind-mark a sample, use those answers as anchors, and review uncertain marks before release. Heads of department can compare class results, share tests and manage team credits while teachers retain control of their marking.

Your teachers blind-mark a shared sample and you approve it. Every class is then marked against it, and you see the gaps side by side.

  2. 2Every teacher marks it blindNo one sees anyone else's marks.
  3. 3See where you agree and differDifferences are flagged for you to settle.
  4. 4You approve the standardThe confirmed answers become anchors for every class.
