How QCAA marks English essays
In QCE English, your responses are judged against the syllabus assessment objectives - the things every task, internal and external, is marked on: how you use and analyse texts, how you create and shape your own texts for purpose and audience, and how you control language and structure. The external assessment essay is marked by QCAA against these same objectives.
Strong responses show a clear, sustained line of reasoning, precise use of textual evidence, and controlled language - exactly the qualities the assessment objectives reward.
How Polarbear's marking works for QCE
Paste or upload your essay and Polarbear returns an examiner-style mark with feedback organised by the QCAA assessment objectives - so you can see which objective is holding your grade back and exactly what to change. You can re-mark as you redraft.
Pair it with the real papers: work an official QCAA past paper under timed conditions, then get instant feedback on your response.
