How to use a topper copy

Reading copies teaches structure. Comparing your own answer to a copy for the same question teaches what you are missing. That comparison is what writeupsc does.

How writeupsc evaluates it

writeupsc reads the photo of your handwritten answer, finds the closest questions in a bank of 5,901 real topper answers, scores seven criteria out of 5 with what the toppers did beside each, and names the changes that move marks: where to write them, what to write, and how many toppers did it. Every reference opens the booklet page. 1 free evaluation, Google sign-in, no card. See a real evaluation or run your own.
