Q: What English as an Additional Language 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 as an Additional Language?

Yes. The Free plan is $0 forever, needs no card, and you can try a English as an Additional Language 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 as an Additional Language 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 as an Additional Language 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: Does it help with the listening section?

You can practise the skill: ask for a spoken-text scenario with the transcript withheld until after you answer, and for note-taking and gist questions built the way the paper does.

Q: Will it mark my language as well as my analysis?

Yes — analysis and language control are marked separately, because that is how the criteria assess EAL responses.

The difference

Getting the answer isn't the same as learning.

A chatbot hands you a polished English as an Additional Language 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 as an Additional Language syllabus.

English as an Additional Language is the EAL pathway in Victoria, Queensland and South Australia. It follows the mainstream English course closely but assesses listening as well, and marks language control explicitly — which means grammar, cohesion and precise vocabulary earn marks rather than being taken for granted.

VCE · VCAAUnits 1–4 with a listening component in the examination alongside the analytical and argument analysis sections; eligibility criteria are set by the VCAA.
QCE · QCAAUnits 1–4 with internal assessments and a 25 per cent external examination, with eligibility set by the QCAA.
SACE BoardStage 2 with school assessment across responding and creating texts and an external examination, including a listening component.

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 as an Additional Language marks are actually earned.

Pick a topic

Choose one of the English as an Additional Language 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 as an Additional Language: the answer, the criteria it meets, and the detail it needs next.

Where the marks usually go: Two techniques analysed well will outscore six listed. The top mark is for showing how they reinforce each other.

Question 1 of 5 Standard Written 6 marks

Analyse how the writer of the supplied editorial uses appeals to fear and inclusive language to persuade readers to support the proposed curfew.

Your answer

The writer appeals to fear by describing the streets as dangerous at night, which makes readers worried for their safety. They also use 'we' and 'our community' to include the reader so they feel part of the group who wants the curfew.

Three mistakes that cost English as an Additional Language marks every year

01
Describing the argument instead of analysing the language that carries it. Name the technique, quote it, and say what it makes the reader think.
02
Losing listening marks by writing full sentences during the recording instead of key words.
03
Using a high-register word imprecisely. Accuracy is worth more than ambition in the language criteria.
