Accessibility statement

1. Our aim

We want everyone preparing for a case study exam to be able to use Eighty Marks. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.

2. What you can do

Use every part of the app with a keyboard alone. A Skip to content link comes first on each page, and focus moves into dialogs and back.

Set extra time in Settings (25%, 50% or 100%) to match a CIMA access arrangement. It lengthens the timer on timed tasks and every mock section clock, and the server keeps the same time. It never changes how answers are marked.

Press Listen on a lesson, a task or your feedback to hear it read aloud in a British English voice where your device has one. You can pause or stop at any time.

Use tutor mode on timed tasks to work without a clock.

Zoom to 200% or use a phone screen without content being cut off or needing to scroll sideways.

Hear the time left announced at 10, 5 and 1 minutes, rather than every second.

Install the app and read lessons and feedback you've opened without a connection.

3. How we test

We check new pages with a keyboard only, at desktop and phone widths (1280 and 390 pixels wide), and with automated browser tests.

Our colours are chosen to meet WCAG contrast ratios, and buttons and links are at least 44 pixels tall wherever we can make them so.

We have not yet had an independent accessibility audit. We will update this page if we have one.

4. Known limits

The workings spreadsheet is a grid of cells. It works with a keyboard, but it is harder to follow with a screen reader than a plain answer box. You can show all your workings in the answer box instead.

AI feedback is written fresh for each answer, so its wording isn't checked by a person first. It can be long; Listen may help.

Read aloud uses your device's own voices, so how it sounds depends on your browser and system. It isn't available in every browser; where it isn't, the Listen button doesn't show.

Score bars also show their numbers as text, but some comparisons are easier to see than to hear.

The demo video on our home page is silent and has a short text description, but no step-by-step text version yet.

5. Report a problem

If something doesn't work for you, or you need information in a different format, please tell us. If you're signed in, use Report a problem on any task and tell us the page you were on, what you were trying to do and any assistive technology you use.

If you're not happy with our reply and you're in the UK, you can contact the Equality Advisory and Support Service (EASS).
