Education
For Schools, Ministries & Universities
Assess the skills that
rubrics can't measure.
Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Oracy are impossible to grade with a tick-box. RM Compare uses Adaptive Comparative Judgement to reliably assess holistic skills, standardise grading, and unlock curriculum reform.

Every student, not just a sampleThe New Reality
Don't fight AI. Outsmart it.
Traditional rubrics are fragile. A student can use LLMs to hit every "success criteria" bullet point (structure, grammar, keywords) without understanding the topic.
The Solution: Comparative Judgement is holistic. It relies on the "tacit knowledge" of the expert to spot Voice, Nuance, and Originality - the qualities AI struggles to mimic authentically.
Pedagogy in Action

Assessment of Learning
Why ACJ transforms assessment across large groups of schools.
For Multi-Academy Trusts & Districts
Standardise Across Your School Groups
Is a "Grade B" in your North Campus the same as a "Grade B" in your South Campus?
RM Compare moves beyond small-sample moderation. By networking your judging pools, you generate a single, universal rank order for the entire Trust. Identify high-performing departments and support those falling behind with irrefutable data.
Pedagogy & Learning
Build "Feedback Literacy"
Peer assessment is often a tick-box exercise. With RM Compare, it becomes a learning engine.
By judging pairs of anonymous work, students internalize the success criteria. They don't just receive feedback; they learn to produce it. This process unlocks the "tacit knowledge" of quality, improving their own subsequent work by an average of one grade boundary.
For Ministries & National Regulators
Infrastructure for National Monitoring
Move beyond expensive universal testing. Use RM Compare to build a lightweight, agile, and valid national monitoring system.
🌍 National Reference Testing
Monitor the health of your education system without testing every child. RM Compare enables Sample-Based Monitoring, allowing you to compare standards across regions, years, and demographics with a fraction of the logistical overhead.
🔓 Unlock Curriculum Reform
Policy makers often delay "21st Century Skills" curricula because they lack a reliable way to measure them. RM Compare provides the psychometric validity required to make these ambitious policies a reality.
Works where Rubrics Fail
The gold standard for subjective and creative disciplines.
"Teachers and subject leaders value this approach, which champions collaboration, develops teachers’ tacit knowledge of what quality looks like and identifies variance in subject domain expertise and assessment literacy"
