Exam papers, class assessments, short tests and quizzes — complete and curriculum-aligned, with mark allocations, instructions and the full marking memo — so setting anything stops eating your evenings.
From blank page to printed paper in three steps.
Tell it what you need
Pick the subject, grade and topics, choose what you're setting — exam paper, assessment, short test or quiz — and how long it should be.
Mark Maker writes it
You get a real paper — sections, instructions, mark allocations — built to the CAPS or Bloom's cognitive levels you set.
Download paper + memo

Everything that makes it a real paper — handled.
A whole paper, not a question dump
Cover header, numbered sections, instructions and marks in the margin — structured the way an exam paper should be.
The memo comes with it
Every paper arrives with its full marking memo, so you're never building the answer key by hand afterwards.
Not just exam papers
Class assessments, short tests and quizzes too — the everyday marks that make up a term. Same structure, same memo, whether it's a 20-mark Friday quiz or a 150-mark trial exam.
Aligned to the curriculum
Set the spread of cognitive levels — CAPS Levels 1–4 or Revised Bloom's — and the paper is built to match.
Built around your subjects
Maths, sciences, languages and the content subjects — with options like answer lines for working and per-question difficulty.
Easy to adjust
Regenerate, vary a single question, or change the mix until it's exactly the paper you had in mind.
Minutes, not a free period
What used to take an hour of hunting and typing takes a few clicks — so prep gives you time back instead of taking it.
Every paper is a first draft, not a final word
Mark Maker isn't here to replace your judgement — it's here to give back the hours that go into typing, formatting and laying out a paper, so your time goes where only you can help: deciding what your class actually needs.
Edit anything, in place
Click Edit Paper or Edit Memo and every question, heading, mark and answer becomes editable right where it sits. No exporting, no reformatting, no fighting the layout.
Marks keep themselves honest
Change a mark and the sub-totals, question totals and cover grid follow automatically — and an edit to the paper carries through to the memo, so the two never drift apart.
Diagrams you can nudge
Drag any label on a diagram, or rotate the whole figure, until it reads the way you want. Small things — but they're the difference between a paper you print and one you retype.
Then make it your own
Add your school's logo, reword a question for your class, swap a context for one your learners know. Export to Word and carry on there if you'd rather finish in familiar territory.
Please read and moderate before you hand it out. Mark Maker drafts fast and follows CAPS closely, but it is AI — it can misjudge a mark, phrase something awkwardly, or get a detail wrong. Every paper should be checked by the teacher setting it. That review isn't a workaround for the tool's limits; it's the part that keeps the paper yours. You stay the examiner — we just do the typing.
Why Mark Maker exists
Setting a good test takes hours that teachers rarely have to spare. Mark Maker started as a way to give some of those hours back — to take the paper and the memo off your plate without cutting corners on quality or curriculum fit. It's built in South Africa, for South African classrooms.
