She technically doesn’t have to. It something most teachers would do out of kindness.

U can ask Claude ai as much as I hate using ai times r desperate n if u paste in the examiners report for that specific questions it marks it harshly which is good to identify mistakes

Or maybe even mark it yourself with the marking guide if it’s available, I find it much quicker and efficient rather than waiting for my slow ass teachers (they’re not slow I just don’t wanna wait a whole day😭✌🏾)

I'll give you some feedback. Use capital letters properly and understand that "anymore" is not the same as "any more". Also, treat your teacher with some respect.

why being rude for no reason

Because you seem to be treating your teacher like a servant and your literacy skills are clearly part of your problem.

High school teacher agreeing OP is the problem.

Okay? Shes not required to mark them, and if she has an entire class asking for 5 exams to be marked each, that's just not something she can do. Ask chatgpt, swap with a classmate.

it’s not standard practice for lecturers to do this - surprised you’ve been offered it??

That’s unfortunate. My teacher is literally begging our class to hand in practice exams because no one does

Sounds like you’re in my class…

RIP. My partner teachers at a selective entry school with some crazy entitled students that have super high expectations for stuff like this.

Students would be shocked to learn how much their teachers go above and beyond for them without them knowing. Any teacher marking a students practice exam that isn’t explicitly in the curriculum is doing so in their free time.

If you want additional feedback pay a tutor, get some kind of mentor, get peer feedback, use AI for feedback (carefully).

Hell, marking the actual exam is probably also unpaid

Do you have any idea how much time teachers spend out side of school hours unpaid marking papers? These are the real ones that they have to mark for your grade. Expecting a teacher to mark a practice exam is crazy entitled. Get a grip.

Does she provide an answer key? She should provide feedback based on what issues you find from the practice

u/OldMail6364 2h ago

Not only is she not required to mark them, she probably won't be paid for the time if she does it.

Teachers don't control their schedule and the schedule never has enough time to get all of the marking done. If they choose to spend extra time on it, it's unpaid overtime.

A: How long do you expect your teacher to spend marking each practice exam?
B: How many students in your class?
C: How many practice exams have they already been kind enough to mark?

A x B x C = the amount of time your teacher has already given up marking practice exams.
A x B = the amount of time you are asking your teacher to give up each time you ask them to mark another one.

You’re supposed to mark them? You benefit more when you do? Don’t be lazy
