Terms of Use
What Marksmith is
Marksmith is a training tool for the HSC Mathematics Extension 2 exam (NSW). You practise, you work on paper, and you review your own exam against real-style marking criteria. That's the whole product.
The beta is free
While the beta runs, Marksmith is free. In return we get something real: how the training holds up with actual students. There is no payment in the beta, no subscription, and nothing that renews by itself. Marksmith is a seasonal product — it is built around your exam date, and a season never auto-renews.
Our questions are our own
Every question you see in Marksmith is original: generated and checked by us. We do not reproduce NESA exam papers or their marking guidelines. Official past papers were used only for analysis while building the product.
Marksmith is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA). "HSC" is theirs, not ours.
No promised results
Marksmith shows estimates — a range, built on what you declare in your own reviews. An estimate is exactly as honest as your reviews, and it is not a prediction. We do not guarantee marks, a band, or any exam result. Nobody honestly can.
Your account
Your account is personal and non-transferable: one student, one account. Keep your password to yourself — what you do signed in counts as you.
Closing accounts
We don't watch what you upload and we don't police how you train. But if something improper does surface — content that isn't your own written work, abuse of the service, a shared account — we may close the account. That's the whole enforcement policy.
Changes and the end of the season
The beta will change as we build, and the season ends after the exam. If something important changes in these terms, we'll say so on this page in plain words.
