How do teachers get started with MarkScheme?

Sign up, then open markscheme.app/for-teachers/start to file your first class (about thirty seconds). Share the invite code with students — they join from /join and mark past papers as usual. Already set up? Your desk is at /teacher/dashboard.

What can teachers see about student marking?

Class dashboards show attempt counts, average scores, topic blindspots across the class, grade-risk quadrants, and a review queue where you can override AI marks when needed.

Is MarkScheme affiliated with Cambridge or the IB?

No — MarkScheme is an independent revision tool. It uses official published mark schemes and IB markband language but is not endorsed by Cambridge International or the IBO.

Can schools use MarkScheme for homework marking?

Many teachers use it for formative past-paper practice — students self-mark first, then MarkScheme gives a second pass. It is not a replacement for formal school assessment or examiner training.

How do I contact MarkScheme about school licences?

Email hello@markscheme.app with your school name, subjects, and approximate student count. Individual student accounts work today; bulk or SSO options are discussed case by case.

For teachers & schools

Class desk on real past-paper marking

Students mark handwriting at /mark; you see class blindspots, grade risk, and can override AI marks when it matters.

Marking a set of mocks is a lost weekend

Put the class set through and you get every script marked against the real mark scheme, plus one page telling you what the cohort actually cannot do — not “they're weak on organic chemistry”, but “they earn 84% of method marks and 9% of analysis marks”. That is a lesson you can plan on Monday.

Where too few scripts have been marked to be sure, it says so rather than guessing. Teacher accounts are free — set one up yourself in about thirty seconds.
