Evidence
Results and methodology.
Every statistic we publish has a specific methodology behind it. This page documents how each figure is measured, what it includes, and what it does not. We believe in being precise about what we have evidence for.
90%
Reduction in grading time
Methodology
When a teacher manually marks a structured written answer at GCSE or A-Level level, the process typically takes 5 to 8 minutes per student, including reading the response, consulting the mark scheme, writing feedback, and recording the score. For a class of 30 students, a single assignment represents 2.5 to 4 hours of marking.
Exaim grades the same set of answers in under 10 seconds. The 90% figure is derived from a comparison of average manual marking time per student (7 minutes, measured across partner school teachers) against Exaim's average automated grading time per response (under 5 seconds). The reduction is calculated on the grading and feedback generation task specifically — not on teacher planning, lesson delivery, or pastoral responsibilities.
This figure is consistent across subject types including Economics, Biology, Chemistry, Business, and English Literature. It does not include the time teachers spend reviewing Exaim's class-level analytics, which adds a small overhead but provides insight that manual marking typically does not generate at all.
+10%
Average grade improvement
Methodology
The +10% figure refers to average score improvement measured between students' baseline assessment (taken within the first two weeks of using Exaim) and their performance on equivalent questions after a minimum of six weeks of regular platform use (defined as at least three graded practice sessions per week).
Baseline assessments are administered across the same topic set at the start of each student's engagement with the platform. Follow-up assessments use questions of equivalent difficulty and structure from the same exam board and qualification. The delta is expressed as a percentage point improvement in score.
The +10% average is calculated across students who completed both a baseline and a follow-up assessment within the same academic term. It excludes students who completed fewer than three graded sessions total, as insufficient practice provides no meaningful signal.
This is a measured platform-specific outcome, not a claim about final exam results. Final exam grades are affected by many factors outside Exaim's control, including exam conditions, personal circumstances, and school-level factors. Exaim measures what it can observe: improvement in mark-scheme-aligned performance on equivalent practice questions over time.
5,000+
Students on platform
Methodology
This refers to the total number of registered active student accounts on the Exaim platform as of the date of publication. Active is defined as having completed at least one graded practice session within the preceding 90 days.
Students include both individually registered learners and students enrolled through school licensing agreements across the UK, UAE, Singapore, and other international locations where Exaim is deployed.
20+
Globally recognised schools
Methodology
This refers to schools that have signed licensing agreements with exaim Limited and deployed Exaim to at least one class or year group. Schools include both state and independent schools across the UK, UAE, and internationally.
Named partner schools include Charterhouse (UK), Tanglin Trust School (Singapore), Jumeirah College (UAE), Nord Anglia Dubai, University College School (UK), BIS Riyadh (Saudi Arabia), Aquila School (UAE), and Durham School (UK), among others.
The “globally recognised” qualifier reflects the international standing of these institutions, several of which appear in recognised league tables for independent school attainment. It does not imply any formal endorsement or co-marketing arrangement beyond the licensing relationship.
What we do not claim.
We do not claim that using Exaim guarantees any specific final exam grade. Final exam results are influenced by factors well outside any platform's control: exam-day conditions, personal wellbeing, teacher quality, and the inherent variation in any individual examination.
We do not claim a causal link between platform use and final exam results. Measuring that link rigorously would require a controlled study with random assignment to treatment and control groups, which we have not conducted. The +10% figure is a pre-to-post measure within the platform, not a comparison against a matched control group of students not using Exaim.
