Yes, you can use Up Learn even if your exam board isn’t the one we specifically cover! Many students in the same position have achieved top grades by combining Up Learn with a few extra resources. Here's how to make the most of it 👇

The Up Learn course currently covers 75% of the content you need for each science. New content is being added every week, and full triple science specification will be available on Up Learn around the start of 2027 🎉

You can check out the topics you’ll need to cover outside the course in our handy guide:

If you’re studying an alternative GCSE exam board to AQA, or studying the AQA Synergy specification, start by creating a study checklist based on your specification.

This helps you track your progress and identify any topics you might need to cover separately.

To get started:

📄 Download your exam board’s specification

✅ Turn it into a checklist of topics

➡️ Use it to guide your learning, ticking things off as you move through the course

There might be some topics on Up Learn you don’t need to cover if your exam board doesn’t require you to know them!

There may be a few topics specific to your exam board that aren’t included in our course. For those, just top up your learning with:

🗒️ Your class notes – a great source for teacher-specific content

📚 A recommended textbook – helpful for board-specific depth

🌐 Other trusted online resources – to fill in any remaining gaps

Think of Up Learn as your core study tool and then fill in any small gaps as needed. This ensures you’re always covering the right material – even if the course wasn’t designed specifically for your board 🧠

Absolutely! Even if your exam board is different, most of the course content will still be super helpful for building understanding and exam confidence. All exam boards are required to be of the same standard, but the structure and exam marking may vary slightly.

The best thing to do is give our 3-day free trial a go and compare Up Learn to your exam board’s specifications to see how we can support you in your learning 💪

You’ll also have access to powerful features like:

🧑‍🎓 24/7 tutoring support

🧑‍🏫 Video lessons, smart summaries, and progress quizzes

🤖 Tools like Strengthen and Refresh Knowledge to keep your learning on track

These features are designed to help you master the subject – no matter which exam board you're with 🎯

If you’re using a course that wasn’t designed for your specific exam board or specification, you won’t be eligible for our 8-8 money-back guarantee because we cannot be sure of the quality of content you use to learn topics not covered in our course 💡
