    How it marks

    Marked the way the VCE English exam is marked

    1

    Two assessor marks out of 10. In the exam, two assessors each give your response one holistic mark from 0 to 10 using VCAA's expected qualities for each mark range. Added together, that's your section mark out of 20. We do the same, then convert it to a mark out of 100.

    2

    Calibrated to the real cohort. We use ten years of VCAA examiners' reports (2016 to 2025), including the published mark distributions, where the average is about 5.5 out of 10 and only about 4 to 6% of students reach 9 or 10. So we can tell you roughly where your mark would sit in the state.

    3

    Feedback in the examiners' own terms. We tell you which strategies ten years of examiners' reports say lifted or limited responses, and point to where they show up in your writing.

    Text response · Section A

    Your reading of the text and the topic · How you build and support your argument · Expression

    Creating a text · Section B

    Ideas from your Framework, the title and stimulus · Purpose, voice and cohesion · Language and structure

    Argument analysis · Section C

    Understanding of the argument and its audience · Analysis of language and visuals together · Expression

    Essay marker questions

    It applies VCAA's published expected qualities for each mark range and is calibrated against ten years of VCAA examiners' reports and the real responses VCAA published as high-, middle- and lower-scoring. Most practice essays land between 50 and 70 out of 100, and 80 or above is genuinely top-tier. English marking involves judgement, though, and even two VCAA assessors can differ by a mark. Treat it as a reliable guide to where you sit and what to fix, not as an official SAC or exam score.
    No. It never rewrites your essay; it tells you what is working and what to improve, the way a tutor would. Use it on practice essays. For a SAC, follow your school's rules about getting feedback on drafts.
    Yes. Add a clear photo of each page (up to 8) and we'll type it up exactly as you wrote it, spelling and all. Check the text and fix anything we misread before you press Mark my essay, because assessors can only mark what they can read. Good light, one page per photo and dark pen give the best results.
    We store it so you can come back to your mark and feedback. It is marked by Anthropic's Claude AI and is never used to train AI models, never published and never shared. Email us if you want your essays deleted.
    Yes. The full feedback is written when your essay is marked, so as soon as you buy a pack or go monthly from the same browser, the essay you just marked unlocks automatically.
    Click "Manage billing" at the top of the marker while you're signed in. You can cancel there in two clicks and keep access until the end of the month you've paid for.
    A one-off payment of $24.99 for up to 40 essays with full feedback, valid until 20 November, which is the end of the VCE exam period. There's no subscription and nothing to cancel. It's the best value if you're writing a lot of practice essays before your exams.
