How to Get Your Answers Marked on NeuraGeek

NeuraGeek does not treat answer marking as one isolated tool. Marking is built into several parts of the workspace, so you can get feedback where you are already studying. The clearest route for work you have completed yourself is the Get your answer marked option inside a subject. That opens the AI Tutor directly in Examiner mode, where you can submit an answer you have written or typed and ask for it to be marked. The same marking system also appears inside supported practice experiences, including Live Solver and quiz or test workflows, so you do not always need to leave the activity you are working on just to check your answer.

1. Open your subject and choose Get your answer marked

Start from the subject you are studying. In the Learn section of the subject page, choose Get your answer marked. It sits alongside tools such as Ask the AI Tutor and the Data Bank because marking is part of the same learning cycle: learn the content, attempt something yourself, then check the quality of the answer you produced. Use this route when you already have work you want reviewed. That could be a handwritten answer, a typed response, or another solution you have completed outside the normal NeuraGeek solving flow. If you are still trying to understand the topic itself, Ask the AI Tutor is the better starting point.

2. NeuraGeek opens the AI Tutor in Examiner mode

Selecting Get your answer marked takes you into the subject AI Tutor with Examiner mode already selected. Tutor mode is for learning and explanations. Examiner mode is for work you have already attempted and want reviewed. You can switch between the two from the controls at the top of the page, but for marking, stay in Examiner mode. Because the examiner opens from the subject itself, the context is already set. In the example below, the workspace is inside Chemistry, so you do not need to begin by explaining which subject the answer belongs to.

3. Submit the answer you actually wrote

The most useful way to use Examiner mode is to submit your real attempt rather than a polished answer rewritten after checking the mark scheme. You can paste or type a response into the prompt box, or upload work when the answer already exists in a file or image. This makes the workflow suitable for handwritten solutions as well as typed answers. Keep enough context with the answer for the marker to understand what it is reviewing. If the question is not already obvious from the uploaded material, include it or explain which question the answer belongs to. The point is to make the submission something that can be judged as an exam response, not just a detached paragraph with no task attached.

4. Use the marking to find what needs another attempt

Once the answer is submitted, use the marking as feedback on the attempt you actually made. The important question is not only whether the response was correct, but what was missing, unclear or underdeveloped. If the feedback exposes a weak concept, switch back to Tutor mode and learn that part properly. If the concept is clear but the answer itself was too vague or incomplete, attempt another question that requires the same skill. This keeps the marking useful. A marked answer should lead to a specific next action: learn something, improve the wording, practise the method again or test the same idea under more demanding conditions.

5. Marking is also built into NeuraGeek practice workspaces

You do not always need to open Examiner mode manually. NeuraGeek also integrates marking into the places where students are already answering questions. In Live Solver, for example, you can complete the work on screen and use Mark it when the attempt is finished. Quiz and test experiences can also mark the work as part of the activity itself. Those integrations are useful because they keep the feedback connected to the exact question set you were solving. Examiner mode remains the main route when you have an external answer, handwritten solution or typed response that you want to submit directly. The embedded marking options are better when the attempt was completed inside a NeuraGeek practice workflow.

6. Know when to use Tutor mode and when to use Examiner mode

The distinction is simple. Use Tutor mode before or during learning, when you need an explanation, a hint, a diagram or help understanding the topic. Use Examiner mode after you have produced your own answer and want it checked. Moving between the two is often more useful than staying in one mode for the entire revision session. A strong sequence is to attempt the question first, submit the answer in Examiner mode, read the feedback, then switch back to Tutor mode only for the parts you still do not understand. After that, attempt another question without the explanation in front of you.

A practical answer-marking workflow

Keep the process simple:

1. Open the subject you are studying and choose Get your answer marked.
2. Check that the AI Tutor has opened in Examiner mode.
3. Paste, type or upload the answer you actually attempted.
4. Include enough question context for the response to be judged properly.
5. Review the marking and identify the exact point, step or idea that needs work.
6. Switch to Tutor mode if the problem is understanding; otherwise attempt another question and improve the answer.
7. When you are already working inside Live Solver, Quiz Room or another supported practice workspace, use the marking option there instead of leaving the activity.

Put it into practice

Choose one answer you have already written for a Cambridge subject and submit it through Get your answer marked. Do not rewrite it first. Let the marking show you what the original attempt was missing, then make one decision from the feedback: learn the weak concept, improve the answer technique or attempt another question on the same area. That is where NeuraGeek’s marking becomes useful: not as a separate destination, but as the checking layer between an attempt and the next piece of revision.
