Daler I, Uzbekistan

Daler is a determined Grade 9 student at Presidential School in Uzbekistan, studying for his Cambridge IGCSE's in Physics, Chemistry, and Maths. When he first applied for the Save My Exams Scholarship, he was under real pressure as he was told that students who scored below a C risked losing their place at school. Determined not to let that happen, Daler set himself the goal of turning his grades around and aiming for top results.

Receiving the Save My Exams Scholarship gave Daler access to the support and structure he needed. With limited time and a busy schedule balancing local subjects and homework, he used the platform’s revision notes, flashcards, and past paper questions to manage his time more effectively and rebuild his confidence in the subjects he found hardest.

His hard work paid off and after starting with C grades, Daler went on to achieve two A*s and an A in his IGCSE science exams.

“Save My Exams helped me revise more efficiently and focus on the areas I struggled with. The clear resources and practice questions made all the difference, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity the scholarship gave me.”

Looking ahead, Daler hopes to continue excelling academically and build a successful future through his studies. His determination to make his family proud and make the most of every opportunity continues to drive him to work hard and aim high.

Arnav B, India

Arnav Bharwaj is an ambitious IGCSE student with big goals. His passion for learning and determination to make the most of every opportunity have driven him to succeed, even when resources were limited.

Before receiving the Save My Exams Scholarship, Arnav often struggled to access textbooks because of their high cost and low availability. Finding Save My Exams was a turning point. The clear notes, model answers, and exam-style questions helped him study more efficiently and build confidence in the subjects he found toughest.

Hear about Arnav's Scholarship experience

For Arnav, education means opportunity — not just for himself, but for his family too. The scholarship has motivated him to keep pushing for excellence and to use his success to create a brighter future.

“Save My Exams supported me enormously in my studies,” Arnav said. “Before the scholarship, I struggled with applying knowledge in exams and managing time under pressure. The resources gave me the clarity and practice I needed to improve.”

That effort quickly showed results — Arnav went from a B to an A* in Physics and achieved A*s in Chemistry and International Mathematics, alongside top grades in Biology and four other subjects.
