Q: What English topics does ATARprepAI cover?

Anything on your syllabus. Every topic and every syllabus point listed on this page starts a quiz on that point alone, and the topic box takes whatever else you type — including a dot point copied straight out of the study design.

Q: Is ATARprepAI free for English?

Yes. The Free plan is $0 forever, needs no card, and you can try a English quiz without even making an account. Free accounts get a monthly allowance of freshly generated quizzes; the current numbers are on the pricing page.

Q: Do I need an account to start?

No. You can generate and play a English quiz signed out. An account adds saved progress across devices, streaks, and a bank of the questions you got wrong.

Q: Which exam boards does it follow?

WACE, VCE, HSC, QCE and SACE. Pick yours and the English questions use that board's command words and paper structure rather than a generic global syllabus.

Q: Are the questions actually marked, or just answered?

Marked. You attempt the question first, then it comes back scored against the criteria — with the specific line that lost the mark and what would have earned it.

Q: Is this just ChatGPT with a different logo?

No. A chatbot hands you a finished answer. This makes you attempt the question yourself, then marks your work against the exam criteria.

Q: Can it work with my own set texts?

Yes. Paste your text, extract or study notes and the questions are built around it, so you practise on the text you will actually be examined on rather than a generic one.

Q: Will it mark a full essay?

Yes. Paste an essay or a paragraph and it comes back marked against the criteria, with the specific sentence that stayed at description rather than analysis.

The difference

Getting the answer isn't the same as learning.

A chatbot hands you a polished English answer. An examiner hands you marks. ATARprepAI closes that gap — you attempt the question, it marks your work, and you find out what to fix.

What you're actually tested on

What's on the English syllabus.

English is the one subject nearly every ATAR student sits, and the one where the marks are least about knowing things. Every board is assessing the same three moves: reading a text closely, arguing a position about it, and writing for a stated purpose and audience. What changes between boards is the wording of the task, not the skill underneath it.

WACE · SCSAUnits 1 and 2 in Year 11 and Units 3 and 4 in Year 12, with a SCSA examination made up of comprehending, responding and composing sections.
VCE · VCAAUnits 1–4, including analytical and creative responses to texts and an analysis of argument and language in persuasive media, plus an end-of-year examination.
QCE · QCAAUnits 1–4 with internal assessments across analytical, persuasive and imaginative writing, plus a 25 per cent external examination.
SACE BoardStage 2 is 70 per cent school assessment — responding to texts and creating texts — and a 30 per cent external comparative analysis or investigation.

Boards revise their syllabuses — check yours for the current wording. Every point above is a live topic in the quiz builder: tap one to be tested on it.

How it works

Practise the way English marks are actually earned.

Pick a topic

Choose one of the English topics above or type your own, then pick your state. WACE, VCE, HSC, QCE and SACE each word their questions differently, and the paper follows yours.

Attempt it yourself

Exam-style questions with the mark allocation showing, so you know how much to write. You answer them — nothing is handed to you.

Get it marked

Your answer comes back marked criterion by criterion in seconds — what you earned, what you half-earned, and what the examiner never saw.

Fix the gap

Rewrite your answer with the feedback beside it, or take a fresh question on the same point, and the topics you keep losing marks on come back around in review.

A worked marking example

See where the marks come from.

An example from English: the answer, the criteria it meets, and the detail it needs next.

Where the marks usually go: One effect stretched across several techniques is the most common way to cap an English response in the middle band.

Question 1 of 5 Standard Written 6 marks

Analyse how the writer of the supplied opinion piece uses language to position the reader to accept their view on urban development.

Your answer

The writer uses emotive language like 'concrete wasteland' and rhetorical questions to make the reader feel that development is destroying the city. This positions the reader to agree with their argument against further building.

Where you lost marks

Gives a distinct effect for each technique rather than one shared claim Missed0 of 1 marks
Explains how the techniques work together to build the writer’s overall position Missed0 of 1 marks

Three mistakes that cost English marks every year

01
Identifying a technique and stopping. The mark is for the effect on the reader, and each technique needs its own effect rather than one blanket claim.
02
Retelling the plot instead of analysing it. If a sentence would make sense to someone who had not read the question, it is summary rather than analysis.
03
Writing an introduction with no contention. Examiners look for a position in the opening paragraph and mark the rest of the essay against it.
