Community guidelines

The short version

MarkScheme's community notes and Q&A exist to help students learn. Be helpful, be honest, and be kind. Everything is public, checked automatically, and can be reported.

Do

• Share your own notes, explanations, and answers in your own words.
• Ask clear, on-topic questions about your subject.
• Upvote genuinely helpful contributions and accept the answer that solved your question.
• Credit sources when you build on someone else's work.

Don't

• Post spam, advertising, or links unrelated to studying.
• Harass, bully, or post hateful, sexual, or otherwise inappropriate content.
• Share personal contact details or ask others for theirs.
• Copy and paste copyrighted material (e.g. whole textbook pages or official mark schemes) — share your own notes instead.
• Post during a live exam or help anyone cheat in assessed work.

How moderation works

New posts are screened automatically before they appear. Anyone can report a post; content with multiple reports is hidden for a moderator to review. We may remove content or suspend accounts that break these guidelines or our Terms of Service.

Your content

You keep ownership of what you post, and grant MarkScheme a licence to display it within the service. You can ask us to remove your contributions at any time — email hello@markscheme.app. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your data.

Reporting

Use the Report button on any note or answer, or email hello@markscheme.appfor anything urgent. If you're a student in distress, please also reach out to a trusted adult or a local support service.
