Your exam board
is not a detail.
A revision plan that does not know whether you sit AQA or SQA, HKDSE or the Abitur, is guessing at the two things that matter most: what gets assessed, and when. Grading scales differ. Exam windows differ by months. Half the marks in one system sit in coursework that the other does not have at all.
Pick your country below. Every page covers how the system actually works, what each board examines, when the papers land, and how eight AI teachers fit around it.
What changes when the board changes
When you peak
Scotland's diet opens in late April. The HKDSE starts in late March. Australia examines in November. A plan built on a May timetable is weeks out of phase in all three.
What the grade is made of
SACE is 70 per cent internal. Queensland's external is 25 per cent — except in maths and science, where it is 50. NCEA banks credits all year. Those are different jobs, not different labels.
What a good answer looks like
Cambridge polices command words. IEB papers reward extended application. UTME is fast multiple choice with negative marking. Same content, three unrelated skills.
