The Save My Exams alternative that covers Indian boards too
Save My Exams is deservedly popular for IGCSE and A Level revision — the notes are tightly mapped to the specification and the examiner tips are genuinely useful. Its gap, if you are studying in India, is the Indian boards. Edukali Smart Notes covers CBSE, ICSE and State boards alongside CIE, Edexcel, AQA and IB, on a five-level tree from board down to topic, with a glossary and past papers included in the same subject unlock.
What Save My Exams does well
Save My Exams is a revision-notes and past-paper site for international exam boards.
- Revision notes mapped closely to international specifications, with examiner-style tips.
- A large, well-produced bank of exam questions and worked answers for those boards.
- A polished, focused revision experience students genuinely enjoy using.
Why teachers pick Edukali
- Indian boards are first-class: CBSE, ICSE and State boards sit beside CIE, Edexcel, AQA and IB.
- One subject unlock covers notes, glossary and past papers rather than separating them.
- A five-level tree — board, class, subject, chapter, topic — so revision follows the same structure as the school’s teaching.
- One platform: the same account runs courses, question papers, online exams, live quizzes, OMR and AI grading — results land in one gradebook.
- India-first pricing in ₹ with a free tier for individual teachers; white-label available for institutions.

Frequently asked
Does Edukali cover IGCSE and A Level too?
Yes — CIE, Edexcel, AQA and IB are covered alongside the Indian boards, which is the point: one account for a student who sits an international board in an Indian school.
Are the examiner tips as good?
Not yet, and that is a fair criticism. Specification-mapped examiner commentary is where Save My Exams has a real edge; our notes lead on board coverage and structure.
What does one subject unlock include?
Notes, the glossary and past papers for that subject — not three separate purchases.
How is the content organised?
A five-level tree: board, then class, subject, chapter and topic, so revision maps onto the order the school actually teaches in.
Is there a free way to try it?
Yes, and pricing is in ₹ per subject rather than a single global subscription.
