AI Comparative Judgement + teacher marking

Double Marker

Reliable, mark-scheme-aligned results for GCSE English Language and Literature mocks.

Verifying your account…

Mark GCSE English mocks against the exam board mark scheme — without marking every script.

Double Marker combines AI Comparative Judgement with targeted teacher marking. Your pupils get marks on the exam board scale and rich diagnostic feedback, while each teacher marks only a small sample of scripts.

Now recruiting

We're recruiting schools for our January English Literature and Language mock assessment. Read the guide to find out how to take part.

Why are schools using Double Marker?

A fraction of the workload

Marking is shared out question by question rather than paper by paper, so each teacher marks around 6 to 7 scripts instead of their whole cohort.

No more trade-off

Comparative Judgement is highly reliable but doesn't use a mark scheme. Traditional marking follows the mark scheme but is inconsistent and time-consuming. Double Marker gives you both.

Comparable across schools

A central moderation sample places every participating school on a single, unified scale, so results mean the same thing across your trust and the wider cohort.

Two markers, one reliable result

Every script is marked twice: once holistically by AI, and once — for a targeted sample — by a teacher using the exam board mark scheme.

Marker 1

AI Comparative Judgement

Every pupil script is judged holistically by AI using Comparative Judgement, producing a highly reliable rank order and relative scale.

Marker 2

The human teacher

Teachers mark a small, carefully selected sample of questions online using the standard exam board mark scheme, without seeing the AI results.

Calibration

Rescaling and optimisation

We calibrate the AI scale against the teacher marks, removing any overall harshness or generosity and mapping every score onto the real GCSE mark scale (for example, 0–40).

Scale alignment and quality assurance

School level

Your school's scale

Each school's scripts are first judged independently to place them on their own relative scale.

Across schools

Unified cohort scaling

We judge a 20% sample of scripts from every participating school against one another. This anchors every school to a single, unified scale.

Quality control

Flags and overrides

If a teacher's mark differs sharply from the AI score, it is flagged automatically. A Senior Marker has final authority to review the script and override any AI-derived mark.

Double Marker in 12 steps

Phase 1

Preparation

  1. Paper writing

    We write the assessment papers.

  2. School contact

    Your school names a single Super User to handle logistics.

  3. CSV upload

    Upload your pupil data using our CSV template.

  4. Booklet creation

    We create personalised, print-ready PDF booklets.

Phase 2

Administration and scanning

  1. Administration

    Print the booklets. Pupils sit the mock and write their answers in them.

  2. Scanning

    Remove the spines and scan in small batches of around 4 pupils per file.

  3. Scan verification

    Upload your scans and we confirm that every one has arrived.

Phase 3

AI and marker setup

  1. AI processing

    Transcription, automated judging and structural checks (2 working days).

  2. Marker setup

    Your Super User adds your marking teachers, who are invited to create accounts.

  3. Allocation creation

    We allocate questions to teachers and let them know marking can begin.

Phase 4

Marking and delivery

  1. Marking period

    Teachers mark their allocated questions online (5 working days).

  2. Results and feedback

    We scale, calibrate and quality-check the marks, then deliver scores and feedback (2 working days).

Rich diagnostic feedback

Within two weeks of the mock, you receive a full suite of data-driven reports.

Pupils

Pupil level

Standardised marks and detailed AI diagnostic feedback on each pupil's individual question responses.

Classes & schools

Class and school level

Aggregated results showing strengths and areas for development across classes and the whole school.

Cohorts & trusts

Cohort and trust level

Overview reports across your trust, plus Examiner Reports summarising performance across all participating schools.

Data protection, security and GDPR

Your school stays in control

Under UK GDPR your school is the Data Controller and No More Marking is the Data Processor.

Your pupil data is never used to train AI models

Pupil data and scanned scripts are stored on Amazon Web Services S3 in Ireland, and our database is hosted on MongoDB Atlas in Ireland.

Enterprise-grade AI partners

Every AI sub-processor is bound by the same GDPR obligations, and our AI providers are prohibited from training models on your data.

Delete at any time

Deleting a task immediately removes all its pupil data and images. You can also request full erasure by emailing support@nomoremarking.com, completed within 5 working days.
