Find out exactly which marks are being lost, and why.
One real past-paper essay, marked against the real CIE mark scheme — then a 20-minute walkthrough of exactly where the marks went, within 48 hours.
What you get back
Within 48 hours of the essay arriving, we schedule a 20-minute walkthrough of a one-page written report — not a report dropped into your inbox, but the marks talked through: where each one was lost, and the two changes worth making first. The written report stays with you afterwards.
“Assess whether an increase in the tax on a demerit good is always the best way to reduce the consumption of such a product.” [12]
Scored exactly as the official scheme scores a 12-mark part (b): AO1/AO2 in one 8-mark levels grid, evaluation separately out of 4.
The report is written in English (it is an English-language exam), with the parent summary written to be readable without any economics background.
What it costs
Ten minutes of your time. No charge.
No account, no card, nothing to install. Fill in the form below; the student sends one essay — or one paragraph — and the report comes back as a 20-minute walkthrough.
Who it’s for
This is for
- CIE 9708 Economics students — AS or A2 — sitting a real exam session
- Students willing to do weekly written work on what the report finds
- Parents who want a specific answer, not general reassurance
This is not for
- Students looking for content teaching from scratch — the free notes and question bank on this site already cover that
- Anyone unwilling to write weekly — a diagnosis nobody acts on helps nobody
Who marks it

Builder of this platform — the 53-chapter notes and 4,223-question past-paper bank many 9708 students already use.
Every essay is marked against the official Cambridge mark scheme, the same way real scripts are.

Students: you’re welcome to fill this in yourself — just include a parent’s WeChat or email, because the report comes with a parent summary that goes to them too.
