As of 13 August 2026, AI can mark your mock exam.

This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

What the alternative costsA teacher or tutor can mark the paper, but no alternative price is supplied here.

If this goes wrong: you revise the wrong topic or believe a generous mark, but you can correct the record by checking disputed answers against the mark scheme or a teacher's judgement.

A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

Do it yourself

A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 30 minutes until you can act on the result.

How to actually do it

Open the question paper and official mark scheme from your school, exam board or revision provider, and check that they are for the same subject, qualification and paper.
Put your answers in question order without correcting spelling, adding omitted workings or rewriting any response.
Paste or upload the question paper, your answers and the mark scheme into a chatbot, then add the subject, level, qualification and exam board.
Send the supplied prompt and ask the model to mark each question separately before giving a total.
Compare every awarded mark and explanation with the official mark scheme, paying particular attention to extended answers, method marks and any answer the model labels uncertain.
Record disputed questions separately and ask a teacher or subject specialist to settle them before using the total to plan revision.

Prompt

Mark my mock exam using the materials below.

Subject: [subject]
Level and qualification: [for example, GCSE or A level]
Exam board: [exam board]
Paper and topic: [paper name or topic]

Question paper:
[paste the questions or attach the paper]

My answers:
[paste my answers in question order or attach them]

Official mark scheme:
[paste or attach it if available]

Instructions:
1. Mark each question separately and show the marks awarded against the maximum available.
2. Use only the supplied mark scheme. If it is missing or unclear, say so and do not invent marking criteria.
3. For every lost mark, quote or briefly identify the part of my answer that caused the loss, then state what was needed for the mark.
4. Separate objective marking from judgement-based marking. For essays and extended answers, give a best estimate, explain the uncertainty, and identify the relevant assessment objective or level descriptor.
5. Do not reward facts or reasoning that are not present in my answer, and do not penalise spelling or grammar unless the question or mark scheme requires it.
6. Give the total mark, percentage only if the paper provides a clear maximum, and a cautious indication of strengths and priorities for revision. Do not convert the result into a predicted grade unless grade boundaries are supplied.
7. List any question where a teacher or examiner should make the final call.
8. Do not rewrite my answers before marking them. Mark what I actually wrote.

What it gets wrong

AI cannot reliably reproduce an examiner's judgement on essays, creative responses or answers that sit between mark-scheme levels.
It cannot infer missing working or award credit for an intention that your written answer does not show.
It cannot know whether a school-specific mock uses modified questions, informal rules or a marking interpretation that differs from the supplied scheme.
It cannot replace a teacher's diagnosis of why you made an error or which misconception is causing repeated mistakes.

Even on a YES, the friction has a name: judgement under ambiguity, verification cost and stakes of error.

How we scored this

Five axes, each scored nought to two by hand: ten means AI carries the task cleanly, and the thresholds that turn a total into YES, PARTLY or NO are published in the methodology. Each axis name links to its definition.

Axis	Score (0–2)
Output	2
Inputs	2
Verification	1
Liability	1
Effort delta	2
Total	8 / 10

The methodology and its thresholds are published in full.

FAQ

Can ChatGPT mark my mock exam?: Yes, if you provide the complete paper, your unedited answers and the official mark scheme. It can give a useful first mark and explain lost marks, but check essay and borderline decisions against the scheme or with a teacher.
Can AI mark GCSE exam answers?: Yes, especially for questions with clear answers and detailed marking points. Extended responses and answers near a grade boundary are less dependable, so treat the AI mark as feedback rather than an official result.
Can AI mark an essay accurately?: It can apply supplied criteria and identify missing evidence, structure or analysis. It cannot guarantee the same level judgement as a trained examiner, particularly where several levels could reasonably apply.
What do I need to give AI to mark my exam?: Give it the full question paper, your answers in order, the subject, qualification, exam board and the official mark scheme. Include diagrams, calculations and workings because leaving them out can change the mark.
