How we mark and how we look after your data
Schools, parents and students should be able to check our work. This page sets out our marking method, how answers are marked part by part, and how we handle data.
How marking works
Real exam questions, marked the way the scheme asks
Marked against the real scheme
Practice questions come from real past papers and are marked against their official marking schemes. The sample questions in our public demo are written by UniDoodle.
Credit for method
Partial marks go to the relevant steps and working, even when the final line is wrong, and the feedback shows where marks were earned and lost.
Handwriting and diagrams
Students can type an answer or upload a photo or scan of their handwritten working, diagrams included. The marking reads all of it, not just a final answer.
The teacher has the final say
Teachers see every answer, the working and the AI mark, and add their own feedback.
Accuracy
Every answer is marked against the official SEC marking scheme, part by part, so students see exactly where they gained and lost marks.

Who is behind UniDoodle
Born from university research into classroom feedback
UniDoodle (Visuality Limited) is a Maynooth University and UCD spin-out, supported by Enterprise Ireland, NovaUCD and MaynoothWorks.
In trials, nine out of 10 students who got an answer wrong and were shown where they went wrong using UniDoodle got it right the second time.
