Here’s what our students have to say
It is one of the best platforms out there for GCSE English Lit. This platform may seem strict at first in terms of marking, but it only motivates you more.Read Emir’s story
Feedback on how to improve and access to instant marking meant I could quickly fix mistakes… Definitely use it. It’s a very useful tool and certainly without getting your essays marked you’re cooked.Read Brian’s story
The advice for improving points was so helpful… It’s absolutely a no brainer. The sooner you start using it the better, so you have longer to develop your habits and don’t have to cram it in closer to the exams.Read Darsh’s story
Before using LitMarker, I was stuck at a grade 3 in my January mocks and found it hard to revise for English Lit. LitMarker replaced the need to constantly ask teachers for feedback, which made revision more independent and less stressful. I started writing practice essays on a variety of questions and used LitMarker’s feedback to refine them each time. By results day, I had achieved a grade 6 (just 6 marks off a 7) - an improvement of three grades. LitMarker also gave me the confidence to go into the exam knowing I could write grade 7/8/9 level essays.
Having access to feedback on my essays without disturbing teachers meant I actually did more practice. LitMarker showed me which assessment objectives I was slacking on. It was stricter than ChatGPT/Tilf and even my real marking - but that pushed me to keep improving.Read Matthew’s story
