Choose Paper 1 reading (comprehension, summary, language analysis) or a Paper 2 directed-writing or composition prompt — all original, exam-style material.
Type your response straight into the box. Short answers are checked point by point; essays are marked whole, the way a real examiner reads them.
See your mark on the 0500 objectives, exactly how to climb to the next band, and a top-band model answer to compare against. Rewrite and run it again to watch your mark move.
First Language English is won on output — what you write, how you structure it, and how precisely you read. Each section is built around that.
Comprehension and own-words questions, the 120-word summary, and the language-analysis question — each marked on what the examiner actually rewards.
Respond to source texts as a letter, speech or article. Marked for both Reading (using the sources) and Writing (quality), exactly as the 0500 mark scheme splits it.
Descriptive and narrative writing, marked on Content & Structure and Style & Accuracy, with a top-band model composition to study after every attempt.
No waiting for a teacher to hand work back. Write, get marked, rewrite, and run it again as many times as you like — the fast feedback loop that actually moves a grade.
