GCSE marking, subject by subject.
DeepMark is AI marking built one subject at a time. Each subject is graded to its own assessment objectives and levels, held to the exam board's standard, and handed back annotated on the page. Pick a subject to see exactly how its papers are marked.

Marking is not one skill
A History examiner and an English examiner are not doing the same job. One weighs an argument built through cause and consequence; the other weighs a personal response to a text and the context around it. A generic marker that treats every essay the same way flattens exactly the differences a teacher is paid to notice. That is why DeepMark is built subject by subject, and why each page above sets out the assessment objectives it marks to rather than a single one-size rubric.
The engine underneath is shared, but the skill it executes is the mark scheme itself. Give it the exam board's scheme and it grades to that board's objectives and levels. That is what keeps a Sociology twelve marker and an English Literature essay each marked the way their own examiners would, not the way an average of both would.
The same discipline, whatever the subject
Every response is scored against the subject's own assessment objectives, not a generic quality scale, so the marks map onto the grid a teacher already uses.
Marks come from discrete met or not met judgements and level descriptors, never a holistic guess, so the same response marked twice lands on the same mark.
Feedback lands on the script itself, tied to the exact words, so a student can see why a mark was given and act on it.
Questions teachers ask
- Which GCSE subjects can DeepMark mark?
- Business, English Language, English Literature, History, Religious Studies, Citizenship Studies, Psychology and Sociology each have a bespoke page tuned to their assessment objectives, with more essay-heavy subjects on the way. Every one is marked to the exam board's own standard.
- Do you mark subjects that are not listed yet?
- Often, yes. DeepMark marks against the question and the mark scheme rather than a fixed subject list, so a paper from a subject without its own page can still be marked. The listed subjects simply have a page that explains exactly how their objectives are handled.
- How is marking different for each subject?
- Every subject rewards different things. History leans on second-order concepts, English Literature on context, Sociology on applying named perspectives, Business on applying concepts to a case study. DeepMark marks each to its own objectives and levels, which is why the pages are built one subject at a time rather than from a single generic rubric.
- Can I use my own mark scheme?
- Yes. Upload the exam board's mark scheme and DeepMark marks against it directly, which is the most accurate route. With only the paper, it builds a scheme so the paper is still markable.
- Is my students' work kept private?
- Scripts are processed to produce marks and feedback and are not used to train anything. The data safety and privacy pages set out who processes what.
