Exemplars
Highlights contains hundreds of student responses to GCSE English Language and GCSE English Literature questions. It is an interactive tool that allows teachers to explore how AQA questions are marked. It provides examples of real responses and explains why these answers received – or lost – marks.
Compare
View different levels of response to the same question.
Select
Use Highlights to select different aspects of answers to past AQA questions. Focus on areas that gained a student marks or where and why they lost marks then view the summative comment to understand the examiner’s overall judgement.
Understand
Perfect for CPD and use in the classroom. Use with colleagues to support marking and moderation. Use with students to optimise progress and attainment.

“Taking the mystery out of marking, it provides reliable information direct from the exam board!”
Caroline Woolfe, English teacher
