About GradeThisPaper
GradeThisPaper marks Pearson Edexcel IGCSE and Cambridge O Level past papers and topical questions the way examiners do, question by question, with the reason behind every mark.
Who it's for
Students sitting Edexcel International GCSE or Cambridge O Level exams who do past papers and want to know their real score, not a guess. Parents use it to see where their child stands, and teachers and tutors can join early access too.

How the marking works
- Scan. Take a clear photo of every page of a finished past paper, or of a few topical questions. Messy handwriting is fine.
- Marked by the board's rules. Each answer is matched to its question and marked against the mark scheme: method and accuracy marks, follow-through, levels for essays, and never above the maximum. If your paper's scheme isn't already there, upload your own, or choose “no scheme” for an honest estimate.
- See why, then fix it. Every mark comes with the reason you got it or lost it, the keywords the scheme rewards, and a grade estimate from that session's boundaries. Every lost mark becomes a flashcard that comes back until you get it right.
It has been tested on real past papers, compared question by question with the official schemes. In our testing so far, it agrees with the official marks 92% of the time. Marks are estimates to help you practise, not official grades, and you can always ask for a re-check.
Why it exists
Hi, I'm Shahzain, the founder of GradeThisPaper.
When I was preparing for my exams, getting a past paper checked was the hardest part. My teachers had whole classes to mark and very little time for extra papers. I asked my parents and siblings, but they didn't know the mark schemes. I tried AI chatbots too: one gave my answer 7/10, another gave the same answer 4/10. I never knew where I really stood.
So I built GradeThisPaper. Scan a past paper or a topical, and in under a minute you see what you scored, where you lost marks and how to fix them, so you can keep moving.
We're a small team putting a lot of time, effort and money into this. Join early, tell us what works and what doesn't, and help us make it better for every student.
