Mark my timed practice exam answer against the marking criteria
A criterion-by-criterion mark for a timed practice answer, an estimated band, and what would lift it one level.
The prompt
Mark a practice exam answer I wrote under timed conditions.
Question and marks available: [PASTE]
Marking scheme or criteria: [PASTE FROM STEP 2, the course rubric, or describe how exams are marked]
My answer: [PASTE EXACTLY AS WRITTEN]
Time I took vs. time allowed: [DETAILS]
Course level: [e.g. "second-year history"]
How to mark:
1. Go criterion by criterion. Give a mark or level for each and quote the part of my answer that justifies it.
2. Give an estimated overall mark or band, as a range, and say it is an estimate, not an official grade.
3. Check exam-specific habits: Did I answer the exact question asked? Did I plan before writing? Is there a clear argument or method, or just description? Did I use evidence or show working? Was my time split sensible across parts?
4. Point out where I wrote things that earned no marks, so I can save time next attempt.
Return:
- A table: Criterion | Mark or level | Evidence from my answer | How to improve.
- Estimated overall mark range.
- The 3 changes that would lift my answer one band.
- One weak paragraph or step rewritten as an illustration, labeled as such, so I can see the difference; I'll write my own version.
- A 5-minute answer plan I could use for a similar question.
This is for practice and self-improvement only. This is step 3 of the "Ace your university final exams" pack. It works on its own, and can use questions and marking schemes from step 2.

How this prompt is built
This prompt follows the RTF structure (Role, Task, Format). RTF tells the model who to be, what to do and what shape the answer should take. It is the quickest structure that still gives noticeably better results than a bare request.
