TopMarks AI - Automated Essay Marking and Scoring for Schools, Teachers & Students

Our AI marking tools consistently deliver superior accuracy across all subjects and qualifications:

(1) Each of our 400+ subject tools—spanning GCSE, A Level, IB, IELTS, and other qualifications—has its own dedicated fine-tuned model, trained specifically on real student work.

(2) Unlike other AI marking solutions relying on subjective user feedback, we rigorously benchmark our grading process using exam board standardisation materials.

(3) Our detailed accuracy blogs transparently demonstrate how our AI marking correlates with official marking standards—for example, our AQA GCSE English Language tool achieved a remarkable 0.95 correlation with official marks, significantly outperforming human examiners who typically achieve around 0.7.

(4) Across GCSE, A Level, and other qualifications, our AI consistently achieves lower error rates than human markers, often reducing marking discrepancies by half compared to experienced human examiners or second markers.

(5) We continually refine our models according to the latest exam board criteria to ensure accuracy and alignment with current standards for GCSE exams, A Levels, and beyond.

Our AI-powered marking process closely follows official exam board mark schemes and offers several advantages over traditional human examiner marking:

(1) Consistency: Human examiners can interpret mark schemes differently, whereas our AI applies the grading process uniformly across GCSE papers, A Level essays, and other assessments.

(2) Speed: Manual marking by teachers, especially during mock exams, can take weeks. Our AI delivers detailed, accurate feedback within minutes, facilitating timely revision.

(3) Detailed feedback: Our tools provide more comprehensive analysis than typical human marking, explicitly referencing mark scheme criteria to ensure transparency and effectiveness as revision resources.

(4) Versatility: From GCSE exam questions to International Baccalaureate assessments, our system automatically applies the correct standards, mirroring real exam marking conditions.

Calibrated precisely against official requirements, our marking technology significantly enhances both accuracy and student revision opportunities.

Our cohort feedback tool is designed specifically to streamline marking during high-stakes periods like mock exams and GCSE revision:

(1) Instant feedback: Quickly process multiple GCSE papers, A Level essays, or IB assessments, receiving detailed feedback instantly.

(2) Pattern identification: Identify common strengths and weaknesses across entire cohorts, helping teachers pinpoint areas needing targeted instruction.

(3) Customisable analysis: Select specific question types from GCSE exams or other assessments to deliver targeted, meaningful insights.

(4) Scaffolded examples: The system provides concrete, exam-focused examples, enabling students to clearly see how their work could be improved.

(5) Downloadable revision resources: Export detailed feedback reports, ideal for revising before real exams and consolidating student learning effectively.

Our Organisation Dashboard equips educational institutions with powerful, centralised tools to enhance efficiency and consistency:

(1) Centralised administration: Easily manage teacher accounts, streamlining school-wide access to our AI marking tools.

(2) Institutional credit sharing: Purchase shared institutional credits, enabling seamless access for all teachers during mock exams and high-stakes assessment periods.

(3) Usage monitoring: Track marking activity across the school to manage resources efficiently and identify departmental marking trends.

(4) Consistent marking standards: Ensure uniform marking criteria across different classes and GCSE exam subjects, reducing discrepancies that might otherwise arise from multiple human markers.

This robust implementation model is particularly valuable for institutions seeking to standardise assessments, reduce teacher workload, and enhance student outcomes.

Top Marks AI offers comprehensive student management capabilities, significantly reducing the administrative burden for teachers:

(1) Database integration: Import student information directly from your school's Management Information System (MIS) via Wonde or CSV uploads.

(2) Individual tracking: Use the My History area to monitor and analyse student work over time, identifying clear progression patterns.

(3) Personalised barcodes: Generate unique barcodes for handwritten GCSE papers or other assignments, simplifying batch marking while accurately maintaining individual student records.

(4) Organised feedback: Easily group and archive feedback by student, class, or assessment type, invaluable for parent-teacher conferences and academic reviews.

(5) Grade monitoring: Track student performance across multiple assessments, pinpointing those needing additional support and providing targeted revision resources.

There is an ongoing cat-and-mouse game between tools designed to help mask whether text has been generated with AI, and tools designed to identify AI-generated text.

We have integrated the most advanced AI detectors into Top Marks, and we are continually updating our capabilities to detect generated content.

Top Marks AI offers powerful batch marking features to streamline the marking process:

(1) Simultaneously mark multiple essays, whether typed or handwritten.
(2) Process entire sets of handwritten essays from a single PDF.
(3) Unique student barcodes: Generate individual barcodes for each student that can be attached to handwritten work, allowing our system to automatically identify where one student's paper ends and another begins.
(4) Analyse full cohorts of student work in one go, including mock exam papers and practice questions.
(5) Compatible with various file formats for maximum flexibility.
(6) Significantly reduce marking time for large groups of students.

Our system efficiently handles large volumes of essays, allowing teachers to quickly assess entire classes or year groups, regardless of whether the work is typed or handwritten. This is particularly valuable during intensive assessment periods when generating consistent scores across all papers is essential.

Top Marks AI provides robust tools for organising and managing feedback:

(1) Batch download feedback for multiple students at once.
(2) Create customisable folder structures to sort feedback by class, subject, or assessment period.
(3) Easily access and review feedback for individual students or entire groups.

These organisation features make it simple to manage results for different classes and subjects, ensuring that teachers can efficiently handle large volumes of feedback while maintaining clear organisation.
