Amazing. so can you just upload the questions you want checked or presumably it needs the cover sheet to know what it is?

I'm sure you can upload individual screenshots and then tell it what it is, i.e. the exam board and which paper. But as I say, I have no idea how accurate its comments are as we're also still waiting on the outcome of a review

I have only tried with Copilot (but the paid version) - I literally just uploaded the script itself and it recognised it and knew the mark scheme without me having to input it. I just put in the question whether the marking was accurate and Copilot gave a commentary of where it thought marks were harsh/generous and an overall opinion on whether they are likely to go up or down on review. I have no idea how accurate it is but saw someone else mention Copilot as well

@XelaM Absolutely no idea, I have never used AI. Do I screen shot the handwritten exam pages? Will AI know the questions and mark scheme to check the answers? Am I allowed to do that by the exam board? Presumably I cant put the mark scheme on the internet.

Can you put them both through an AI tool like Copilot and ask which paper is more likely to gain marks?

Ok so your questions is 'are there any maths teachers or similar out there who can review my DS's A level maths scripts that I have to see if there is a mark to be gained anywhere as college won't help.'?

No college wont help, DS never went to classes and has now left.
No it is too late for priority thanks. I understand the scripts need reviewing and I have the scripts.

Will school/college not guide you?

I don't think someone can say 'remark paper 2' without seeing the script. Hopefully a method mark has been missed somewhere, but schemes are pretty prescriptive.

Is the Astar needed for uni offer? Are you looking at a priority remark? (Or is DC only y12?)

Thanks yes I have had "remarks" done before for siblings for GCSE and A level including maths and physics very successfully so am well aware of the process.

1 mark off an A * so we need to select the correct paper as there will only be time to do one by the time it is looked at.

Currently 41 marks above the 208 for an A so it shouldnt be a risk, However just need to select the correct paper. A* is 250

Just a parent.

They aren't remarks but a review of whether marking is correct to the mark scheme, though for maths I think that is one and the same really.

The Teacher / Head of Department should be able to look at the scripts to see if there are any missing marks. Maths isn't subjective so it should be pretty clear I would have thought. Unlikely to be worth the money asking for a review if the school/college says no more marks to be had.

Presumably you know how many marks off the grade boundary the student is? Does it matter for next steps?

Anyone know the OCR A level maths papers this year and able to help with remark advice? Thank you

Stick in your question, you may get helpful responses with those with adjacent knowledge.
