Is this homework?

Is this homework?

No, I'm studying for the GMAT. Even if it was homework what difference would it make? I want to know the grammar behind the answer, not just the answer itself.

It's not a matter of a grammar rule as such - it's a matter of what people say. 'At' and 'against' are used, but 'with' is far more common.

Even if it was homework what difference would it make?

It would make a difference to us. We don't help with homework assignments. Your teacher wants to know what you can do, not what we can do.

Once your homework has been corrected/marked, we can then help with anything you don't understand.
