ExamMarker subscriptions start from £25.60*(Exam Master subscription*) per full exam paper marked with qualified video teacher feedback that is approximately 20 minutes of video feedback, in total, per exam paper.
We have a range of different packages to suit your child’s learning needs. Our packages are superb value when compared to the cost of private tuition, whilst still preparing your child for their GCSE exams in the best way possible!
Our marking credits refer to the number of times you can get a full exam paper marked and receive video feedback from our teachers. So if you have 6 credits you can get 6 full exam papers marked.
All marking credits have a time limit, so once you have purchased your marking credits it is important to make full use of them within the given time scale. For example, if you purchase our Exam Supremo package, you get 6 marking credits that must be used within a 2 month period.
The time restrictions are in place to allow us to follow the structure of a school year and ensure that usage is contained within separate school years, due to exam paper specifications changing from year to year. This allows us to adjust our content and delivery over the summer break ensuring we are always up to date.
Our secure payments gateway accepts all major debit and credit cards.
An ExamMarker subscriptions vary in length depending on your child's revision requirements and is activated from the date you first purchase an exam package. From there you’ll have access to all our exam papers and revision videos.
Our exam marking packages have different time scales depending on the package and number of credits you choose. For example, our Exam Expert package has 13 marking credits and a 4-month subscription length from the date of purchase. You can purchase more credits once a subscription expires to allow for continued use.
You will be notified and if you would like more credits you can simply go to your account and follow the same process as before by choosing one of our subscription packages again to top up your credits.
We understand that when you come to the end of your exams you probably won’t be needing ExamMarker.
Remember though you only pay for the credits that you use. So if you wanted to, you could keep your account running, with no fee to pay unless you wanted stuff marking; you may want to use us again for A Levels!
However, if you did want to cancel your account, please contact us and we'll take it from there.
Although, we want to do everything in our power to limit your reason for cancelling. So if there's any problem we can help with, don't ever hesitate to contact us and we will do our best to serve your needs.

The Exam Only videos are basically the exam questions in video format, for you to watch and answer at your own pace, with no audio help.
This style of video is suited for when you are familiar with particular questions and want to move quickly, and also when you want to practice your exam answering skills under real-life exam conditions, such as answering the questions independently and involving timed conditions.
When watching an Exam Only style video, the video will show the questions quickly, so be sure to pause the video on the question you want to answer to allow yourself time to write your answers down.
The Teacher Guided videos provide you with help on understanding each question and also useful tips on how to answer each question. This style of video is helpful for when you are perhaps a little unsure of a question or when needing a reminder to help rejog your memory around a particular topic.
When watching a Teacher Guided video, best practice is to pause the video after listening to the teacher’s advice for a particular question and then write down your answer immediately afterwards to ensure their advice is fresh in your mind. You can, of course, replay the question as many times as you like to help with your understanding.
Once you have written down your answer, press play and listen to the next question, and then repeat this process for the rest of the questions until the whole video is completed.

Firstly, click the upload button under the video. Then take a picture of your answers using your mobile device.

Avoid taking at an angle, instead ensure your phone is directly over your work and that the page fits nicely with your camera screen.

Finally, once everything has been uploaded, you can then submit your work for marking. Please be sure that you are 100% happy with your answers, as once you agree to submit you won't be able to add more work for that particular exam video.

This feedback never leaves your account, so you have access to this feedback for whenever you feel you may need to revisit your learning. You can re-watch the feedback videos as many times as you like to ensure you fully understand how to improve for next time.
