Terms of use

These are the terms you agree to by using Exam Practice HQ. We’ve kept them short and in plain English.

Last updated: 12 November 2026

Who we are

Exam Practice HQ is the trading name of a sole proprietor business operating from outside the United Kingdom. Contact: hello@exampracticehq.com.

Who can use this

Exam Practice HQ is built for students aged 13 and over. If you’re under 13, please ask a parent or guardian to set it up and use it with you.

A parent or guardian can pay for a subscription, and many do. The account still belongs to the student: their marks are theirs, and we don’t give anyone else a way to see them.

What we provide

A tool for recording your past paper marks, grading them against published boundaries, identifying topics costing you marks, and practice packs for those topics.

We don’t host or reproduce exam board papers or mark schemes. Where we link to a paper, that paper is hosted by the exam board or another site, and we’re not responsible for its content or availability.

Your account

You need an email address to create an account. There is no password — we email you a sign-in link. Keep access to that email secure: anyone who can read it can sign in as you.

One account, one person. Don’t share your sign-in link.

You can have your account deleted at any time: email us from the address you signed up with and ask. Everything goes with it.

Free access through a school

Where a school’s email addresses are on our free-access list, anyone signing up with one of those addresses gets full access at no charge, for as long as that arrangement lasts. It is attached to the email address, not to you personally, and we may end or change it — if we do, you keep anything you’ve already paid for, and the free tracker, as everyone does.

Our material

Everything on this site — the practice questions, mark schemes, text and design — belongs to us.

You may: use the packs for your own revision, and print them.

Teachers may: print the packs and use them with their own classes, and put them on a school system reachable only by their own students.

Nobody may: upload our material anywhere public, share it outside their school, sell it, include it in anything they sell, or remove our name from it.

Fair use

One subscription is for one person. We’ve priced it low on the assumption that’s how it’ll be used.

Please don’t:

• Share your sign-in link or let anyone else use your account
• Use any tool or script to pull the packs automatically
• Upload our packs anywhere others can reach them — a public site, a shared drive, a resource library, a group chat
• Sell our material, or include it in anything you sell
• Remove our name from a pack

Teachers: printing the packs and using them with your own classes is fine, and so is putting them on a school system only your own students can reach. Anything wider, just ask — we’d rather say yes to something sensible.

If someone breaks this, we’ll usually email and ask them to stop. For serious or repeated cases — sharing a sign-in widely, republishing the packs — we’ll close the account without a refund.

We don’t keep a log of which packs you open. The one thing we do record is which of your three free packs you’ve used, because otherwise we couldn’t tell when the free three were finished. Beyond that there’s no access log and no visit counter on a pack. We could keep one — most sites do — but we’d rather not hold that about you. It does mean we rely on people being straight with us.

What we don't promise

We don’t guarantee a grade. The tool shows what your marks suggest; what you get on the day depends on you.

Grade boundaries are reproduced as published by the exam board. We check them carefully, but if you spot one that’s wrong, please tell us.

We try to keep the site running, but it may occasionally be unavailable.

When we'd close an account

If someone shares their sign-in widely, redistributes the packs, or tries to break the site, we’d end their access without a refund. We’d tell you why first.

Exam boards

We’re independent of Pearson Education Ltd and not endorsed by them. Edexcel and Pearson are their trademarks, used only to say which qualifications we support.

Payments

Payments are handled by Paddle, who are the seller of record. Their terms apply to the payment itself. We never see or store your card details.

If something goes wrong

Email us first — most things are a misunderstanding or a bug and we’d rather fix it than argue. Nothing in these terms affects your statutory rights as a consumer.

Changes

If we change these terms we’ll update the date above. Changes don’t affect access you’ve already paid for.
