Why does AI feedback help with NAPLAN Language Conventions?
Conventions errors often come from applying a rule inconsistently or confusing similar rules. BandBoost's AI explains which rule was broken and why the student's choice was tempting — for example, explaining the difference between "there", "their", and "they're" in the specific context of the question the student got wrong.
