FAQ
Can Kognity replace Marksy for IB grading?

Is Marksy more consistent than Kognity?
Yes for feedback tasks. Marksy applies the same IB-oriented workflow each time, while Kognity is primarily a curriculum platform rather than a feedback system.
What if I already use Kognity in class?
That is fine. Many students use Kognity for curriculum delivery and Marksy for assessment feedback. They solve different problems.
