Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about MARK-MATE. If you don’t see your question here, we’re just a message away.

  • Mark-Mate began with an experienced English teacher who found that ongoing English Bagrut reforms had turned grading into an overwhelming part of the job. As internal assessments increased, evenings that once belonged to family and lesson planning became consumed by grading.

    We soon discovered this wasn't one teacher's story. We met with dozens of English teachers from different schools and learned that every teacher had a slightly different grading philosophy. Mark-Mate was built to support those differences — not eliminate them.

    Our goal is simple: help teachers spend less time grading and more time teaching.

  • Over the years, ongoing reforms to the English Bagrut have significantly increased the amount of internal assessment required in schools. Teachers now evaluate numerous school-based assessments using complex rubrics that demand careful professional judgment.

    Mark-Mate was created to reduce that workload while supporting — not replacing — the teacher.

    To help teachers save time without compromising the quality, fairness, or integrity of their grading.

  • Mark-Mate is designed for Grades 10–12 English teachers teaching Modules A–G, especially Module F (Literature). It supports 30% internal assessments, mock exams and school-based Bagrut assessments. It is not intended for official Ministry of Education Bagrut examiners.

    Built for the teachers who teach — not the examiners who assess the national Bagrut.

  • No. You configure your grading preferences, review every completed assessment and decide whether to accept or reject it. Mark-Mate assists your work, but the final decision always remains yours.

    Every assessment begins with AI — but ends with the teacher.

  • Teachers don't all grade the same way. During setup you define your grading preferences, including grading strictness and your educational philosophy. Mark-Mate reflects your approach.

    Mark-Mate adapts to your teaching philosophy — not the other way around.

  • Mark-Mate was developed specifically for English Bagrut assessments together with experienced teachers. Every assessment follows your chosen grading preferences to provide consistent recommendations.

    Mark-Mate delivers consistency. You deliver professional judgment.

  • Yes — in the vast majority of cases.

    During the development of Mark-Mate, we deliberately tested the platform using exams with handwriting that teachers themselves described as difficult to read. In most cases, Mark-Mate successfully recognized and assessed the students' responses.

    However, there are occasions when a student's handwriting is simply too difficult for anyone — including AI — to interpret with confidence.

    When this happens, Mark-Mate doesn't guess. Instead, the platform automatically flags the exam and clearly identifies it for teacher review, allowing you to check the unclear sections before approving the assessment.

    This approach helps ensure that every assessment remains as accurate, fair, and reliable as possible.

    When Mark-Mate isn't confident, it tells you — because accuracy is more important than assumptions.

  • ChatGPT can help assess a single exam, but Mark-Mate manages the entire grading workflow. Instead of rewriting prompts, explaining rubrics and maintaining consistency yourself, you configure everything once and grade an entire class within one consistent framework.

    You're investing in a grading platform built specifically for English teachers.

    Mark-Mate doesn't save time because it uses AI. It saves time because it eliminates everything you have to do around the AI.

  • Getting started requires only a short setup. Everything is selected through guided menus — no prompts or technical knowledge required. Configure once for the assessment, then upload your class.

    A small investment at the beginning. Hours saved by the end.

  • No. A smartphone is enough. Simply photograph each page clearly before writing comments, making sure every page and every answer is visible and belongs to the correct question.

    If you can take a clear photo, you can use Mark-Mate.
