Free for every student. For good.
somalc marks Leaving Cert answers sentence by sentence, with fixed rules, not AI. Students never pay.
“Charging students is what creates the gap.”
Sebastian, who started somalc
Grinds and paid study sites help the students who can already pay for them. somalc is free for every student, and stays that way.
Schools will pay for the teacher view when it opens. That’s what keeps the student side free.
Marked by rules you can check.
The marker is called IMark. It isn’t a chatbot. It follows fixed rules built from the published marking schemes, so the same answer always gets the same mark.
- 1It reads one sentence at a time.Each sentence is judged on what it does for the question.
- 2It says why, every time.A sentence that doesn’t earn gets a note saying what’s missing.
- ✕It never writes for you.The fix is yours to write. Then it marks it again.
