How Stilly works

Stilly is a practice marker. You write an answer to a practice question, and Stilly gives you feedback you can act on straight away.

The five headings

1. Definitions. Did you define the key terms in the question?
2. Models and theories explained. Did you explain a relevant model and apply it, not just name it?
3. Examples. Did you show what a buyer or organisation would actually do?
4. Judgement or opinion. Did you give reasons and weigh options?
5. Depth and structure. Is it easy to follow, and is each part of the question covered?

Positive marking only

Stilly only adds marks for things you did well. Nothing is ever taken off. If something is off the question, it simply earns nothing, and Stilly may mention it as a learning point.

What you get back

• A practice score for each heading, and a total
• What went well, about your own answer
• What would earn more marks, heading by heading
• One next step for your next practice answer

Where the questions come from

Every question is an original practice question written from the published syllabus learning outcomes. None are copied from exam papers. Each question has its own marking guide, so feedback stays consistent.

What Stilly is not

Stilly's score is practice feedback. It is not a CIPS mark, not a predicted grade, and not a pass or fail. Stilly uses AI to read your answer against the question's marking guide, so treat it as a study partner, not a final word.
