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 👇

Start by creating a study checklist based on your exam board’s 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

👌 Extra exam practice papers – make sure to do some from your own exam board, not just the ones on Up Learn

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 🎯

All of our courses are written for and tailored towards A specifications, so while they will likely have some content that is beneficial for you, the structure of teaching and examination will differ ⚖️

The best thing is to start a trial to see if you would find our content useful, and then use the strategies above to ensure you cover your entire specification.

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