We’ve heard it all.

Here’s everything you need to know before working with us.

  • We currently specialise in core secondary STEM subjects, specifically Mathematics, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics, including full layout analysis for formulas and graphs. We also support humanities and language components ahead of a broader rolling infrastructure update later this year.

  • The QR code ensures flawless, secure digital routing by automatically linking each scanned script to the correct student profile and tracking register. This eliminates manual indexing errors and guarantees data integrity from the moment of upload.

  • ExamBox delivers forensic precision on complex STEM layouts, outperforming standard senior human examiners while reducing the outlier delta for remarking moderation to less than 3 total marks. The system natively recognises handwritten scripts and strict exam-board rubrics, achieving a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of under 2.0 marks.

  • Yes, a random sample of 10% of the student papers are marked by our existing UK based team of markers. We then compare and analyse the AI and Human results, which may lead to further investigation, moderation or amends if necessary. Our testing has shown a higher accuracy and consistency to the mark scheme, than using human marking.

  • You will receive deep diagnostic data reporting, including full cohort gap analysis, question-level breakdowns, and individual student performance metrics aligned directly to specific qualification specifications. For student-facing outputs, the diagnostic feedback is intentionally scaffolded to ensure rapid progression and low-friction uptake.

  • We conduct the marking and moderation on a unique portal that is created for your school and project. All the data, reports and marking is on the portal and we will need to ensure you have access and give you a brief tour to help you maximise the features available.

  • All analytical reports and fully marked digital student scripts are securely accessible through your dedicated ExamGPT School portal dashboard. From here, department heads can view aggregate data or download individual PDFs at any time.

  • Our service level target is a maximum of 7 days. Often the results will be ready within 72 hours from receipt of the papers.

  • Our system automatically flags any low-resolution or illegible uploads for manual review, and we will immediately notify your school coordinator to request a quick digital rescan of the affected scripts. Alternatively, schools can opt to utilise our chargeable off-site scanning service, where our team handles the physical processing end-to-end.

  • ExamGPT is the proprietary, forensic AI logic engine built by Excelas that powers the ExamBox service. Unlike generic text models, it is custom-engineered to accurately read, evaluate, and grade handwritten scripts against strict exam-board rubrics.

  • Digital uploads are submitted directly via your secure online school portal. If you are utilising our full physical scanning service, papers should be sent via our trackable courier service to the secure QA Associates processing facility detailed on your booking confirmation.

  • Yes. Some subjects and A levels are not covered by the ExamBox service. Please use this link to get a quote for the service.

  • You will have an option to choose whether they are sent back you within 72 hours of us receiving them by post, or whether you wish to have them professionally destroyed and get a certificate of proof. Please use this link to see more details of how this works.

  • Yes. The Minimum order size for this service is 20 papers. To ensure accuracy we increase the human quality cross check sample % for lower volume orders. This is why the price vary.

  • The minimum notice required is 7 days from your results deadline. This is subject to acceptance of our quote and receipt of Mark schemes and student registers.

  • We recommend that you wait until the results are available to you, in case we need to get a student paper rescanned.

  • Excelas.ai is the pioneering EdTech infrastructure company that engineered the core ExamGPT marking engine. This service is delivered in a strategic partnership combining QA Associates' established examination expertise with Excelas' advanced automation tech.

  • Teachers have full autonomy to instantly adjust marks directly within the portal dashboard during their final verification review before downloading the CSV files. Alternatively, schools can flag specific scripts via the dashboard to route the contested mark to a senior human examiner for a quality cross-check.

  • All student data is encrypted in transit and at rest within UK data centres in absolute compliance with UK GDPR, meeting Cyber Essentials standards. Our identity and access management is powered by Auth0 (which is SOC2, ISO 27001, 27017, and 27018 compliant) with enterprise SSO options available as an add-on.

  • Yes, our standard Basic and Pro school plans allow departments to utilise the core engine for routine internal assessments and mock cycles throughout the academic year. Please contact your account lead or visit Excelas.ai to discuss further.
