From draft to clearer next step, across home, tutoring, and school.

BandUp turns each draft into a shared writing-growth signal: what improved, what stayed weak, what to practise next, and what families and educators should do now.

BandUp scoring workflow preview

Every draft should lead to the next gain.

BandUp keeps the writing flow simple: submit, score, understand the weakest signal, practise one targeted move, then try again with clearer intent.

01

Write

Choose the pathway, prompt, and genre that fit the student’s school year or exam context, then submit a typed draft or reviewed handwriting extraction.

02

Score

BandUp checks the writing against the relevant rubric after submission, from year-level and state curriculum criteria through NAPLAN, scholarship, selective, and senior pathways.

03

Understand

Inline corrections explain what changed, why it matters, and which scoring signal needs attention first.

04

Practise and re-submit

The dashboard, report, and writing coach point to the highest-value next move so the student can revise, retry, and prove improvement.

One growth system, many pathways.

BandUp keeps the same writing-growth loop across school writing, state curriculum pathways, NAPLAN, scholarship and selective pathways, and senior contexts without changing the core story.

School-year writing first

BandUp starts with school-year and state curriculum expectations, then adds NAPLAN-calibrated pathways, genre-aware scoring, and exam-specific context where relevant.

Scholarship and selective

5-criterion scholarship-style marking with exam-board context for ACER, Edutest, Selective, AAS, ICAS, and eWrite.

Writing coach and follow-up

Post-submission guidance helps the next session focus on the biggest available gain and keeps the family and educator story aligned.

Clear boundaries build trust.

Is this an official NAPLAN score?

No. It is a practice estimate and learning guide, not an official result. Official NAPLAN assessments are conducted through schools.

Can BandUp handle handwriting?

Typed essays are still the cleanest path, but the beta camera and upload flow can extract handwritten text. Families should review the extracted text before submitting.

Why use AI instead of human marking?

Frequency and follow-through. Students improve faster when they can write, receive structured feedback, practise one clear move, and try again without waiting days for a marker.

What is protected?

Parent-owned accounts, child profiles, Australian-hosted Supabase data, and monitoring that avoids essay text. Shared visibility does not mean shared account control.

Try the full flow

One draft is enough to find the first focus.
