Real marked work
Names are hidden. Everything else is exactly as the student received it: their working, our marks and our comments.
One answer, start to finish
- The question. GCSE Higher: rearrange a formula so that t is the subject.
- The student’s attempt. Their own working, line by line, exactly as sent to us.
- The marks. M1, M1 and A1 written next to the lines that earned them: 3 out of 3.
- The note. What the best final answer looks like, so the student writes it that way in the exam.
- What happens next. A harder question of the same type in the next test, to check it has stuck.

What parents say
“My son is happy with how he is taught Maths, Chemistry and Physics. He told me, “Mama, I understand the way he teaches.””
“Today’s class went really well. My daughter is very satisfied. She said she understood it properly. Please carry on just like this.”
“The paper reviews showed exactly where marks were being lost in O Level Maths and Chemistry, and what to do about it. We had a great experience with Apex Academic.”
“Full past papers, marked properly, with every mistake explained. His confidence in Maths and Physics went up a lot before the exams.”
How a question is marked
Our own exam-style question, with the marks an examiner would give for each line.
Solve the inequality 2x² − 7x − 15 < 0
[3 marks]- (2x + 3)(x − 5) < 0M1factorises correctly
- critical values x = −1.5, x = 5A1both roots
- −1.5 < x < 5A1correct region, strict inequality
