Real Example
How to get the exact topic from Save My Exams
Use the Save My Exams path first, then copy the specific topic wording into SME Searcher.
1. Open the correct Save My Exams path
Example path: IGCSE → Biology → Edexcel → Revision Notes
2. Copy the exact topic wording
In this example, the topic to search is Structure of Biological Molecules.
Use the first exact subtopic name shown first for the best and most accurate results. If that does not work, try the broader topic heading instead, for example Biological Molecules. If that still does not work, try the other subtopics listed in that same section.
3. Press Find Notes in SME Searcher
Choose Edexcel, IGCSE, enter Structure of Biological Molecules, then press Find Notes.
4. Open the targeted PDF results
If the green fallback card appears, press Search for notes to open the targeted Save My Exams PDF results.
Tip
Keep it exact
If Save My Exams shows a more specific topic inside a larger chapter, use that exact wording in SME Searcher.
Use: Structure of Biological Molecules
Results

That usually means there is an updated version. Go for the newer one because it tends to match the latest syllabus content.
