A marked Bandmark essay: highlighted sentences with a feedback card

Write it, or photograph it

Type your response, or snap your handwritten pages straight from the exam desk. We read your handwriting, page by page, and you check the transcript before anything is marked.

Marked like the real thing

Your essay is marked against a state-ranked tutor's calibrated rubric, criterion by criterion, the way an examiner reads it. Twice, independently, so one generous read never inflates your mark.

Feedback pinned to your sentences

Every strength and weakness is highlighted on your exact words, with the sentence you should have written instead. Ask Tony about any comment, and a real tutor answers.

Highlighted essay text with a feedback card explaining the fix

Hi, I'm Tony.

I came 7th in NSW for HSC Economics in 2022. What got me there wasn't talent. It was someone showing me, sentence by sentence, what separates a 17 from a 20.

Most students never get that. An hour of tutoring costs more than a fortnight of Bandmark, and it buys feedback on exactly one essay.

So I built the thing I wish I'd had. Every essay you submit is marked against the same standard I was marked against, with feedback pinned to your exact sentences and the line you should have written instead. And when you want a human, you ask me directly through the platform. I answer every question myself.
