Save My Exams

Save My Exams is an online revision service for students preparing for GCSE, IGCSE, A Level, IB, AP, AS and O Level exams. It suits learners who want both syllabus-linked study materials and tools to direct their practice. Its range is a strength, but the right fit depends on whether it covers your subject and whether you need paid-plan features.

Overview

The service combines revision resources, practice and teacher test creation. Students get notes, exam questions and answers, past papers, mark schemes, flashcards and PDFs; teachers can assemble topic- and difficulty-filtered tests. That breadth can reduce the need to move between separate study tools, while variable subject and qualification coverage makes checking your course an important first step.

Key features

Qualified teachers and examiners write the revision notes, questions and mark schemes, with at least two Curriculum Experts reviewing content before publication. Resources are matched to specific exam-board specifications wherever possible. That approach is useful for students seeking course-relevant practice, though it does not ensure every subject or qualification is covered.

AI study tools include Smart Mark, Revision Note Chat, Exam Question Chat, Guided Study and Guided Practice. Target Tests and strengths-and-weaknesses analysis help focus practice on weaker areas, while the Study Planner helps organize revision. Together, these tools offer more direction than a resource library alone; access to particular tools varies by plan.

Teachers can use Test Builder to create tests from past-exam and expert-written questions, filtering by topic and difficulty. It extends the service beyond individual revision, especially for teachers who want to build focused assessments from its question pool.

Free accounts can download past papers and mark schemes, but model answers cannot be downloaded or edited. The site uses HTTPS, says passwords are not stored in plain text, and has payment card fields hosted by Stripe. Save My Exams Limited is the data controller for savemyexams.com, with a registered office in London. Email support runs Monday to Friday, 9:00am–5:00pm UK time.

Pricing

Save My Exams uses a freemium model, with a free plan and a free trial. The Free plan costs nothing and provides selected resources and features with limited revision materials. It is a way to start without paying, but the limits and the inability to download or edit model answers may constrain students who need a complete revision set.

Essential costs $8 a month, billed at $96 per year. It includes Basic Test Builder, Revision Notes, Exam Questions, Mock Exams and Smart Chat. This suits students who want core study and practice resources on a paid plan, but it does not include the full Test Builder or the tracker, answer feedback and guided practice included with Premium.

Premium costs $16 a month, billed at $192 per year. It includes everything in Essential, plus Full Test Builder, downloads, strengths-and-weaknesses tracker, answer feedback and guided practice. It is the more complete choice for students who want targeted practice and feedback, at twice Essential's monthly rate. Both plans are billed annually, so the monthly figure is not a month-to-month payment term.

Premium monthly, Premium three-monthly and Premium annual are also named plans, each with full access to Premium resources and custom pricing. Choose among them only after confirming the applicable price and billing terms.

Platforms

Save My Exams is available on Android, iOS and the web. Offline access is supported, giving students a way to use resources away from a live connection; however, free accounts cannot download model answers.

Who it's for

Save My Exams is a strong fit for students whose qualification and subject are covered and who want notes, exam practice and guided study in one service. The paid tiers are more compelling for learners who need downloads, feedback or structured practice tools. Teachers may value Test Builder for creating focused assessments. It is less suitable as a sole revision source until you have confirmed your course coverage, or if you need downloadable and editable model answers on a free account.

Pros and cons

• Pros: A broad mix of notes, questions, past papers, flashcards and PDFs supports several kinds of revision in one place.
• Pros: Expert authorship and review, alongside exam-board matching where possible, give the materials a clear academic focus.
• Pros: Target Tests, study planning and AI tools add ways to structure and focus practice.
• Cons: Subject and qualification coverage varies, so it may not support every student's course.
• Cons: Free accounts cannot download or edit model answers, and free revision materials are limited.
• Cons: Essential and Premium prices are monthly figures billed annually, which requires paying for a yearly term.

Alternatives

For custom flashcards, hints, image uploads and access to millions of sets with mobile and desktop syncing, Cram is a focused alternative; Save My Exams offers broader exam resources and teacher test creation. For a free service with no subscription or payment required, BBC Bitesize is worth considering, though a BBC account is required for personalised learning.

If literature titles, saved highlights and notes are your priority, LitCharts is the more focused option. For a service that offers all subjects and exam boards with past papers and mark schemes on its free tier, MathsGenie may suit you better, though its free plan is limited to 20 energy a week.

Revision Village offers free access to a subset of topics within a course, plus mobile app access and dedicated support for one course. For free study guides without sign-up, SparkNotes is another option; its paid PLUS plan is $5.99 a month plus tax. ZNotes may suit learners seeking free syllabus-aligned notes, chapter quizzes and limited AI tutor and planner use.

Cognito is another freemium option; compare its course coverage and plan needs with Save My Exams before choosing.

Verdict

Choose Save My Exams if your course is covered and you want revision resources, targeted practice and teacher-built tests together. Its breadth and practice tools are the main reasons to pick it; variable coverage, restricted free materials and annually billed paid plans are reasons to compare alternatives first.
