How to get help with all your 2023 exams on The Student Room

Step 1 - Find your exam chat thread or create your own!

The first thing you need to do is find a space to talk about the exam your taking. On The Student Room, we break down each exam chat by level, subject and exam board so you can always find other students who need to prepare in the exact same way as you.

Check out our exam directories to see which exam threads have already been created:

A-level exam directory
GCSE exam directory
IAL exam directory
BTEC exam directory

Can't find the exam thread you're looking for? Then it couldn't be easier to set one up yourself!

Simply start a new conversation in the Ask a Question button on the top of the page:



Label the exam as best you can for example "AQA A-level Business Exam Chat", tag @Evil Homer in and I can get it added into our directory. This will help promote it across the site to help find other students, and I may add in any of the other detail that you might need

Easy Peasy!

Step 2 - Introduce yourself and make sure you watch the conversation

Once you've found the exam thread you want to join and get involved in ( or you've made it yourself ) introduce yourself! Let others know what you're studying, what you're aiming for in your exams and what you are struggling with in your revision.

This will give other students a reason to post themselves and to share their experiences! You may find someone who can help support you in the area of revision that you are currently struggling with

To make sure you don't miss any of the action, hit the 'Watch' button at the top of the exam discussion and get a notification every time there is a a new post:




Step 3 - Revise and support each other over the next few months and prepare as best you can

Now you're all set up and ready to go. This is now your space to share any new resources you've found, to ask for help on a particularly tricky subject area or just share how you are feeling as the big day approaches.

These spaces will keep growing as we get closer to the exam date, and are usually full of last minute crammers the night before the exam, so get in early and set yourself up for the best chance to ace your exams!

Step 4 - Come back to TSR after the exam and help us create Unofficial Markschemes

Now here comes the best bit, or the worst bit depending on who you ask! These exam threads are incredibly useful before the exam, but they come to life immediately after it as well

Once you've finished your exam, swing back on to The Student Room and find out how all those students you've connected with earlier have done. This can give you a good guide on how you've done and help guide your revision as you progress through your exam season.

If you are feeling particularly interested to find out how everyone has done, why not help set up an Unofficial Markscheme? These are places where students get together and work out the answers to the exam they've just taken!

If this is something you want to do, jump onto The Student Room after your exam, create a thread with the above method using a detailed title like: 'AQA A-level Biology Paper 1 Unofficial Markscheme' then tag @Evil Homer in so I can let others know that's what you want to do by typing this:

"@Evil Homer"

You would be surprised how many people love using these and getting involved!

No problem... I'll intro myself.

I will get in early.

That's what we like to see!

Let me know if you need a hand with anything

Hello I hope you are well does this thread provide help with university exams and phase tests.

Hey @Mohammed_80,

It does not at this stage, unfortunately. Because different universites and even courses within those universities take their exams at different times of the year we find it hard to create exam threads for them.

That doesn't stop you creating one yourself though! If you need support or want to create study groups on TSR then you will always find a supportive and welcoming community to join you.

Feel free to reach out if you would like a little support in setting one up!

Check out our exam directories to see which exam threads have already been created:

BTEC exam directory

I don't do this qualification but is there one for T-levels?

Not currently. From my limited knowledge I'm unsure if there are the same centralised exams as in the other qualifcations we have supported. If anyone is studying a T-level this summer and would like something set up then please do reach out!

That's what we like to see!
