From https://www.gov.uk/child-employment/restrictions-on-child-employment:

"During term time children can only work a maximum of 12 hours a week. This includes:
• a maximum of 2 hours on school days and Sundays
• a maximum of 5 hours on Saturdays for 13 to 14-year-olds, or 8 hours for 15 to 16-year-olds"

If you have a job, and don't want to be doing it right now, then arrange to take a few weeks off whilst you're doing your exams. Or quit
