EdFlik vs Save My Exams (2026): Revision Platform or Live Tutoring for UAE IGCSE Students?
Last updated: October 2026 | By EdFlik Education Team | Competitor details checked October 2026
Save My Exams is one of the most widely used revision platforms for IGCSE, GCSE, A Level, IB and AP students, with notes, topic questions, past papers and mock exams. It is not a tutoring service. EdFlik is a live 1:1 tutoring provider that now also hosts its own IGCSE practice platform for Cambridge and Edexcel, which puts the two in the same conversation.
The right choice depends on whether your child needs content to practise on, a person to explain and correct, or both.
A note on fairness: EdFlik publishes this article, so we have an obvious interest. We have limited ourselves to facts that Save My Exams and independent sources publish, we show where Save My Exams is the better fit, and we flag what we could not verify. Prices and features change, so please confirm on their website before you pay.
Quick verdict
Save My Exams offers an enormous library of examiner-written revision resources for self-driven students. EdFlik combines live teaching with an IGCSE practice platform in one provider. A confident self-studier may need only the library. A student who gets stuck, repeats mistakes or loses motivation usually needs a teacher as well. |

What is Save My Exams?
Save My Exams describes itself as a digital revision platform for students, teachers and parents. It says it unlocks 150,000 examiner-written resources, and its course pages for Cambridge and Edexcel IGCSE list revision notes, topic questions, past papers, mock exams and flashcards. It reports that users improve by an average of 2.6 grades, based on an internal survey of 1,917 students in September 2025, so treat that as a self-reported figure.
- Content: revision notes, topic questions, past papers, mock exams and flashcards by exam board and subject.
- Boards: Cambridge (CIE) and Edexcel IGCSE, plus GCSE, A Level, IB and AP.
- Price: Premium subscription plans. A competitor's 2025 comparison lists US$8 per month on annual billing; confirm the current price on its site.
- App: its help page says it does not currently have a dedicated app.
A big library is valuable, but a library does not tell a student why an answer lost marks or how to fix the underlying misunderstanding. That is the gap a teacher fills, and it is where EdFlik's tutoring and practice platform are designed to work together.

Pricing: what it costs in practice
These two are priced differently because they are different products: a subscription for a library versus an hourly rate for a teacher. A revision platform is the cheaper way to get content. Tutoring is the way to get explanation and accountability. EdFlik's published starting rate for tutoring is AED 45 per hour.

Questions to ask any tutoring provider before you pay

Our verdict
Save My Exams is a strong self-study resource for independent students. EdFlik is the better fit when a student needs a teacher as well as practice, and when parents want reporting and one accountable provider. If your child is confident and disciplined, a library may be enough. If they get stuck or avoid practice, add live tutoring.
