Assertion–reason items (board format)

Fact-cause connection items in the standard four-option board pattern.

The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.

View plans

Review: Solve every item yourself before trusting the key; check each item maps to a taught outcome; run the six-defect audit (ambiguity, keys, difficulty honesty, context bias, distractors, curriculum match).

Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: 'Reasons' that are true but unrelated — check the causal link is real

Blueprint-driven question paper

A full test built row-by-row from an outcome/level/marks blueprint.

Template

{{BOARD}} Class {{CLASS}} {{SUBJECT}}, chapter(s) {{CHAPTERS}}. Build to this blueprint: {{BLUEPRINT_ROWS}} (each row: outcome — item count — type — difficulty — marks). Plus one misconception item targeting {{KNOWN_MISCONCEPTION}}. Answer key with one-line reasoning per item, items labelled by outcome and cognitive level. Syllabus notation only; distractors must be plausible errors, never jokes; I verify every key. Flag your least-confident item.

See the filled example

CBSE Class 8 Maths, Linear Equations in One Variable. Build to this blueprint: solve one-side equations — 3 — MCQ — easy — 1 mark each; solve both-sides — 3 — short answer — medium — 2; form equation from words — 1 — case-based (2 questions) — hard — 3. Plus one misconception item targeting sign errors. Answer key with reasoning, items labelled. I verify every key. Flag your least-confident item.

Illustrative: a paper whose marks match the blueprint, an assertion-free format, and one flagged item the teacher checks first.

The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.

View plans

Review: Rule-identical is the bar for bilingual instructions; check the back-translation line by line.

Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: 'Any three' becoming 'the three' in Hindi — the back-translation exposes it

Feedback drafts from anonymised patterns

Encouraging, specific feedback language from performance patterns — never pasted student work.

Template

Task: {{TASK}}, rubric criteria: {{CRITERIA_LIST}}. For each of these anonymised performance patterns, draft feedback (two strengths, one next step, encouraging tone, ≤60 words each): {{PATTERN_LIST}}. Address the work, not the person; next steps must be actionable this week. I will personalise offline.

See the filled example

Task: persuasive essay, criteria: argument, evidence, structure. Patterns: (a) argument clear, evidence thin, sources uncited; (b) rich evidence, structure rambles; (c) strong throughout, conclusion abrupt. Draft two strengths + one next step each, ≤60 words, encouraging. I personalise offline.

Review: Feedback drafts are language, not judgement — the level/mark is read from the work by you.

Privacy: Describe performance patterns only. Never paste identifiable student work into a public tool. Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: Generic next steps ('work harder') — actionable-this-week is the bar

Marking moderation pack for a subjective question

Anchor answers at each level so two markers award the same marks.

The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.

View plans

Review: Verify the anchors' mark breakdowns against your marking points; adjust to your board's conventions.

Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: Anchors too polished — 'real student writing' is the instruction that matters

MCQs with error-based distractors

MCQs where every wrong option encodes a real, named student error.

Template

Class {{CLASS}} {{SUBJECT}}, outcome: {{OUTCOME}}. {{ITEM_COUNT}} MCQs where each wrong option encodes a REAL error a student makes — after each item, one line naming the error each distractor represents. No joke options, no 'all of the above'. Answer key; I verify. Difficulty: {{DIFFICULTY_MIX}}.

See the filled example

Class 6 Maths, outcome: compare fractions with different denominators. 6 MCQs where each wrong option encodes a real error, with the error named per distractor. No joke options. Answer key; I verify. Difficulty: 3 easy, 2 medium, 1 hard.

Review: Solve every item yourself before trusting the key; check each item maps to a taught outcome; run the six-defect audit (ambiguity, keys, difficulty honesty, context bias, distractors, curriculum match).

Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: Distractors drift into implausible options — the named-error line exposes this

View plans

Review: Behaviour-only descriptors protect shy students with strong content — verify none reference personality.

Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: 'Confident delivery' style descriptors sneaking in — behaviour only

View plans

Review: The lazy example teaches more than the strong one — keep both.

Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Post-remediation recheck (new surface + transfer)

A recheck that distinguishes a rebuilt model from memorised practice.

The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.

View plans

Review: Pre-commit your three decisions (mastered/partial/unmoved) before administering — evidence should meet a plan.

Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: Reused practice contexts — the new-surface rule is what makes this evidence

Practical activity checklist (binary steps)

Procedure marking as observable yes/no steps; rubrics stay for quality.

The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.

View plans

Review: Verify step order against the prescribed manual; checklists mark procedure, never understanding.

Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: Steps that aren't observable ('understands the aim') — binary visible actions only

Project rubric with observable descriptors

A rubric two markers would apply identically, plus a student-language version.

Template

Class {{CLASS}} project: {{PROJECT_DESCRIPTION}}. A rubric with {{CRITERIA_COUNT}} criteria ({{CRITERIA_LIST}}), {{LEVEL_COUNT}} levels each, and OBSERVABLE descriptors per cell — something a reader could point to in the work, no adjectives without evidence. Plus a student-language version of the same rubric. Flag any descriptor two markers could still read differently.

See the filled example

Class 8 project: science-fair investigation on water conservation. A rubric with 4 criteria (accuracy, investigation, communication, teamwork), 4 levels each, and observable descriptors per cell. Plus a student-language version. Flag any descriptor two markers could read differently.

Review: Test-score one imaginary strong and one weak submission: if you hesitate on a cell, iterate that descriptor.

Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: Adjective descriptors ('good understanding') — the observability rule catches them

Six-defect audit of an existing test

Audit any test (AI- or human-made) for the six defect classes before students sit it.

The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.

View plans

Review: The AI's audit is a second pair of eyes, not the verdict — you confirm each finding; you solve the items too.

Privacy: Paste only the test content — never student responses or marks. Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: Misses key errors — this audit supplements, never replaces, solving items yourself

Student self-assessment (I-can + evidence)

Outcome-wise 'I can' statements with an evidence line, in student language.

The full template and filled example are available with a premium plan.

Review: The evidence line is the point — check it survives; without it self-assessment is mood-reporting.

Privacy: Never include student names, identifiable marks, health, family or community details. Describe situations and needs, never children.

Known failure modes: Statements in teacher language — the read-alone test catches this
