Why this board

Marking AQA Science properly

Combined science covers the same skills across six papers with less content depth. We mark whole papers or single disciplines, whichever fits the student's revision plan. AQA mark schemes are unusually explicit about the wording that earns a mark, which is exactly where self-marking goes wrong, an answer that sounds right but misses the credited term scores zero.

Every script is read by a team of biology, chemistry and physics specialists. You get the paper back annotated, with a topic-level percentage and an indicative grade against real boundaries, not a self-marked tick list.

FAQ

AQA Science questions

Do you mark against the AQA mark scheme?
Yes. Every Science script is marked against the published AQA (Assessment and Qualifications Alliance) mark scheme for that paper, by an evaluator who specialises in the subject and knows the board's conventions.
How quickly does a AQA Science paper come back?
48 hours from upload as standard, and 72 hours during the January and May peaks. The current turnaround is always shown before you upload.
What does the report contain?
An annotated script, marks per question, a topic-level breakdown, an indicative grade placed against published boundaries, and three prioritised next actions.
Is the marking done by a person?
Yes, a team of biology, chemistry and physics specialists. Every mark and comment is written by a qualified human evaluator.
What does AQA Science marking cost?
Topic tests are £7.99, real past papers £11.99 and full mocks £14.99. The first paper is free, with no card details taken.
