feedback they'd otherwise wait a week for.
afterhour marks HSC English essays in about a minute, against the same marking guidelines NESA's markers use.
marked the way the HSC is
every essay is marked against NESA's published marking guidelines for that exact task: a mark out of 20, a band, a mark for each criterion, and the reasons, quoted from their own writing.
told exactly what to change
the three changes that would lift the essay to the next band, most important first, plus comments on their own sentences. not a vague 'add more analysis'.
they can see themselves improve
when they redraft, pro compares it with the last version: which criteria moved, what got fixed, and the new mark. that loop is where marks actually go up.
practice in the real exam shape
HSC-style papers with unseen texts and essay questions on their prescribed texts, sat with real timing and marked the same way.
what it costs
Pro is A$25 a month, cancel any time. From April of the HSC year there's also the HSC Pass, A$99 once, which covers them until the end of their exams with nothing to cancel. For comparison, tutors often charge A$50 or more to mark a single essay.

the easiest way: your child taps ask a parent on their pro page, and you get an email with a link that pays for their account. no account for you to make.
the fine print, honestly
afterhour is an independent study tool, not affiliated with NESA, and its marks are a practice signal, not an official result: teachers' and NESA's marks are the ones that count. essays stay private to your child and are never sold or published. questions go to hello@afterhour.study, and a person answers.
