  1. Log in to the Automark website. Go to https://auto.nomoremarking.com/tasks and log in using your No More Marking username and password.
  2. Select the correct task. If you’re a No More Marking subscriber, your task list will already be populated with the next national task. There will be one task for each eligible year group. If you need to check the key dates for each task, see the calendar here: https://www.nomoremarking.com/calendars
  3. Upload list of student names. You will need to upload a csv file with your students’ names. You can download a template of what this should look like from Automark. If you encounter any errors, see this guide here.
  4. Download and print the answer sheets. Once you’ve uploaded your students’ names, Automark will create a set of coded answer papers for you. There will be one for each student. Print off this PDF so you can give the papers to each student.
  5. Download the question paper. The question paper is available to download. You can either print off a copy for each student, or you can display it on your screen in class. Get your students to answer the questions in class!
  6. Scan in the filled in answer sheets and upload them to Automark. Once the students have filled in their answers, collect them and scan them in. We recommend scanning them using a photocopier as this will give the best results. If you put your photocopier on to the scan setting, it will email you a PDF of the scan. Upload this PDF to Automark.
  7. Check any issues. Automark will automatically flag any answers it’s uncertain about for you to review manually.
  8. Get your local results instantly! You will immediately get two CSVs available for download - ‘marks’ and ‘responses’. ‘Marks’ gives you the score for each student and whether they got each question right or wrong. ‘Responses’ tells you which option they selected.
  9. Get your national results a few weeks later. Once everyone has finished the judging, we can provide you with a PDF with further national analysis of the results. To see the dates when the results will be available, check the calendar https://www.nomoremarking.com/calendars
