OmniStudy splits the paper into questions and pairs each one with its mark points. The chip flips when the paper is ready.
The mark scheme is used for marking only. Students never see it.

High effort and high attainment.
High attainment but low time spent: could stretch further.
High effort but lower attainment: needs targeted help.

Strengths
- •Osmosis and diffusion definitions were secure across the class
- •Most students used data from the graph in part (b)
Areas to develop
- •Extended answers need linked explanations, not lists of facts
- •Units were dropped in half of the rate calculations
Common misconceptions
- •Active transport described as movement down the gradient
- •Mitochondria confused with ribosomes in protein synthesis
Commonly misspelled words
Amara O.
26 / 32 marksExplain how temperature affects the rate of an enzyme-controlled reaction.
4 marks · scored 3
As temperature rises the enzyme and substrate collide more often, so the rate increases up to the optimum. Above the optimum the reaction slows down.
Names the optimum and the collision idea clearly. The fourth mark needed the active site changing shape, so the substrate no longer fits.
Teachers open any student’s marked answers. Other students and parents cannot.

The real heatmap component with sample data: weakest topics surface first, so the next lesson plans itself.
Set a past paper in one form
Pick Past paper, attach the paper and the mark scheme (the mark scheme stays hidden from students), and press Set homework. OmniStudy splits the paper into questions, pairs each with its mark points, and flips the task to Ready for students when it finishes.
Effort vs. achievement, per student
Every dot is a student, placed by revision time and predicted grade. The thresholds are yours to adjust. Tap any dot, right here in the demo, to open that student: total time, predicted grade and top weakness, exactly as in the real portal. The script opens Jack O. for you.
Marked results, no marking time
Each paper comes back with completion, average score, the score spread, whole-class strengths and misconceptions, and every student’s marked answers, which only you can open.
Every demo is scripted with fictional sample data. Nothing here is live and no AI runs on this page.
A shorter route from set to support
Give feedback time back to teaching
The portal demos above show the same handoff: set the work, let answers be marked, then decide where your attention matters most.
- 1
Pick a real past paper
Choose a paper split into questions with its mark scheme attached, or set topic practice.
- 2
Set it for the class
It lands on every planner with a due date, without photocopying or chasing sheets.

See completion, scores, common misconceptions and who needs a closer look.
What stays yours
See who needs you before the mock does
Built for a two-minute Monday scan. The Who needs you demo above is the real portal chart, running on sample data.
Live mastery per student: every student’s progress across the specification, updated as they revise, not once a half-term.
Real study time: who actually revised this week and for how long, so effort is visible before results are.
Struggling students surface themselves: falling mastery plus falling study time gets flagged, so you find out in week two, not in the mock.
Topic-level drill-in: open any student and see exactly which topics are holding them back.
Printable progress reports: the class overview exports as a print-ready PDF, charts included, for line managers and parents’ evenings.
Pastoral sub-groups: group the students you monitor across classes and check on just that list in seconds.
Give every adult a useful view
Students revise, you set the work, and linked parents follow progress in their own portal. Everyone reads from the same page, so 'how are they doing?' emails get shorter.
Students
revise with instant mark-scheme feedback and a planner that counts down to each paper.
Teachers
set homework, watch mastery move, and step in early where it stalls.
Parents
see study time and progress at home, without pestering anyone for updates.
