Quick Search Box

- You can query the following columns:
- Examination board
- Qualification
- Subject name
- Code
- Component name

You can also use a combination of the above to search for a paper! For example 'IBDP Geography' will only return IBDP Geography papers, while 'Geography' will return all papers that contain the word geography.
Control centre

- Click to update the list of exam papers in the database. Exam Display is updated twice a year (end of February, and mid-September), with new exam dates and details. In order to ensure Exam Display works offline, the contents of our database are saved to your devices. Clicking overwrites existing contents on your device with the new details.
