Phloem wants to mark the marks you actually lost
A pre-launch Cambridge IGCSE exam-marking app that proposes to assess working criterion by criterion, rather than returning only a total score.
- For
- Cambridge IGCSE students reviewing practice-paper mistakes
- Worth noticing
- The page claims 14,801 markable criteria across six subjects and 6,000 written questions.
Field notes
The proposed workflow keeps the student’s complete working in view instead of reducing an answer to its final value. The page illustrates this with separate M1, A1, and B1 decisions, including method, accuracy, and follow-through-style judgments. Its stated coverage spans six Cambridge IGCSE subjects, while the product remains in pre-launch waitlist mode and its marking performance is not independently demonstrated in the supplied extract.
