Cancel Get Revising: The Right Way
How to cancel get revising and take control of your study subscription
About get revising
Get Revising is a UK-based online learning platform built to help students prepare for GCSEs, A-Levels, and other qualifications across the British education system. Part of The Student Room Group, it's served British students for years with revision resources, study tools, and collaborative learning features designed specifically for the UK curriculum. The platform offers mind maps, flashcards, revision timetables, and study planners-all tailored to exam boards like AQA, Edexcel, OCR, and WJEC.
What makes Get Revising stand out is its community-driven approach. You can create and share your own revision materials, access resources from other students, and track your study progress through built-in tools. The service operates on a freemium model, meaning basic features are free, but premium subscriptions unlock advanced functionality. Most importantly, the content aligns directly with UK exam specifications, so you're not learning material that doesn't match your actual exams.
Many students subscribe to Get Revising during revision season, then need to cancel once exams finish or when they no longer need premium features. If you're in that position, understanding how to cancel properly is essential-especially since subscriptions auto-renew and can continue charging you months after you've finished studying. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers cancel educational subscriptions like this one, and we're here to walk you through it step by step.
Why you might want to cancel get revising
There are several legitimate reasons why you might decide to cancel your Get Revising subscription.
Your exams are finished
Once your GCSE or A-Level exams end, the urgency to revise disappears. You may no longer need the premium study tools and may see no point in continuing to pay. If you've already used Get Revising to prepare and exam season has passed, cancelling immediately prevents unnecessary charges accumulating over summer or into the next academic year.
Free features meet your needs
You might discover that the free tier of Get Revising provides everything you actually need for your revision. If you're not using the advanced study planner, offline downloads, or premium materials, you're essentially paying for features you don't touch. Switching back to the free plan or cancelling entirely makes financial sense.
You've found a better alternative
Other revision platforms, tutoring services, or revision books may suit your learning style better. Everyone revises differently, and if Get Revising isn't delivering results for you, there's no reason to keep paying for it. Stopee recommends comparing what you actually use before deciding to switch services.
Unexpected subscription charges
Sometimes you subscribe during a promotion or trial period and forget the auto-renewal date. When the charge hits your bank account, you realise you don't want to continue. This is incredibly common with educational platforms, and it's your right to cancel immediately and seek a refund if you cancel within the cooling-off period.
Financial circumstances have changed
Your family budget may have tightened, or you've realised you'd rather spend that £6.99 monthly on something else. Premium subscriptions add up across multiple services, and cutting unnecessary ones is a sensible financial decision. You're entitled to cancel at any time, and Stopee encourages you to prioritise what matters to your household.
Understanding get revising's pricing and plans
Get Revising offers both free and premium subscription tiers, and understanding what you're paying for is the first step towards making an informed cancellation decision.
What each plan includes
| Feature | Free plan | Premium plan |
|---|---|---|
| Basic mind maps | Yes | Yes |
| Advanced study planner | No | Yes |
| Unlimited resource storage | No | Yes |
| Offline access and downloads | No | Yes |
| Ad-free experience | No | Yes |
| Premium study materials | Limited access | Full access |
Cost breakdown
Get Revising typically charges around £6.99 per month for premium membership on a monthly basis, or approximately £49.99 annually if you choose the yearly subscription. The annual option works out to roughly £4.17 per month if paid upfront, offering modest savings. Pro tip: check whether you subscribed during a promotional period-many educational platforms offer discounted first months to attract new users, after which the full price kicks in.
Most importantly, these subscriptions auto-renew unless you actively cancel them. This automatic renewal is where many students get caught. You finish your exams in June, forget about the subscription, and then Get Revising charges you again in July without warning. Understanding your renewal date and cancelling before it arrives is crucial. If you've already been charged unexpectedly, Stopee advises checking your cancellation rights under UK consumer law, which we'll cover in the next section.
Your consumer rights when cancelling get revising
The UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 protects you when you cancel online subscriptions, and it's important you know exactly what rights you have.
The 14-day cooling-off period
When you subscribe to Get Revising online, you have 14 calendar days from the date of purchase to cancel and request a full refund without giving a reason. This is your statutory cooling-off period, and it applies to all distance contracts (contracts made online, by phone, or by post). If you subscribed last week and now realise premium isn't for you, you're entitled to cancel within this window and recover your money.
Warning: the 14-day period can be extended if Get Revising hasn't provided you with clear terms and conditions before you subscribed. If you can't find their cancellation terms or pricing information wasn't transparent, this could strengthen your cancellation claim.
Cancellation after the cooling-off period
Once the 14 days have passed, you're no longer automatically entitled to a refund, but you can still cancel your subscription. Most UK subscription services allow you to cancel at any time-you simply won't receive a refund for payments already made. However, if Get Revising doesn't allow you to cancel online or makes the process deliberately difficult, that may breach consumer protection laws.
What to do if get revising refuses to cancel
If you request cancellation and Get Revising doesn't process it, or if they refuse to refund you within the 14-day period, you can escalate to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) or your local trading standards office. Additionally, if the company is unresponsive, you can raise a dispute with your bank or credit card provider and ask them to reverse the charge. Stopee recommends keeping records of all cancellation requests-screenshots, emails, and dates-to support your case if you need to escalate.
Step-by-step guide to cancelling get revising
Follow these steps to cancel your Get Revising subscription cleanly and confirm the cancellation is processed.
How to cancel online through your account
- Log in to your Get Revising account using your email address and password.
- If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password?" link on the login page and follow the email recovery process.
- Navigate to your account settings or profile section, typically found in the top-right corner of the screen.
- Look for a menu option labelled "Settings", "My Account", or "Profile".
- Find the "Subscription" or "Billing" section within account settings.
- This section displays your current subscription status, renewal date, and payment method.
- Locate the "Cancel subscription" or "Manage subscription" button.
- Click this button to initiate the cancellation process.
- Read any messages Get Revising displays-they may offer discounts or try to retain you, but you can proceed with cancellation.
- Do not click "Save offer" or any retention button unless you genuinely want to stay subscribed.
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking "Yes, cancel my subscription" or similar confirmation button.
- Get Revising will then display a confirmation message with your cancellation date.
- Take a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation for your records.
- This screenshot becomes your proof of cancellation if any future charges appear on your account.
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Get Revising.
- This email typically arrives within minutes and includes your cancellation reference number.
What happens to your access after cancellation
Once you cancel, your premium access typically continues until the end of your current billing period. For example, if you subscribed on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 20th, you'll retain premium features until the 14th of next month. After that date, your account reverts to the free plan, and you lose access to offline downloads, ad-free experience, and premium materials. Your revision notes and created resources remain in your account, but you can no longer access premium-only content.
Pro tip: before cancelling, download or save any premium study materials you've created or bookmarked. Once your premium access expires, you may not be able to access these files easily. Export or screenshot important resources to your device or cloud storage.
Requesting a refund for get revising
Whether you can claim a refund depends on when you subscribed and whether you fall within the cooling-off period.
Refunds within 14 days
If you subscribed within the last 14 days and you cancel now, you're entitled to a full refund of the subscription amount under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. When you cancel through your account, select the option to request a refund if prompted. If Get Revising doesn't automatically offer one, contact their customer support team directly and cite the 14-day cooling-off period. Include your subscription date, amount paid, and cancellation date in your email.
Refunds after 14 days
After the 14-day period expires, Get Revising is not legally required to offer a refund unless you can show the service was faulty or misleading. If you subscribed to premium and the promised features don't work or aren't available as described, you may have grounds for a refund under the Consumer Rights Act. Take screenshots of any non-functional features and email Get Revising's support team explaining the issue and requesting a refund.
Chargeback and dispute options
If Get Revising refuses to process a refund you believe you're entitled to, contact your bank or credit card provider. You can request a chargeback, which tells your bank to reverse the transaction. Your bank will investigate and typically side with you if you cancelled within the cooling-off period or if you provide evidence of the faulty service. Stopee recommends this route if Get Revising stops responding to your emails or refuses to acknowledge your cancellation request.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancelling a subscription sounds straightforward, but small mistakes can leave you paying charges you thought you'd stopped.
Not keeping cancellation proof
The biggest mistake is cancelling but not saving evidence. You click "Confirm cancellation", see a confirmation screen, and assume it's done. Then three months later, Get Revising charges you again. Without a screenshot or the confirmation email, you have no proof you requested cancellation. Always save the confirmation page, take a screenshot, and keep the cancellation email. Stopee has seen countless disputes resolved simply because the consumer had a single screenshot showing the cancellation date and reference number.
Cancelling the wrong subscription
If you use Get Revising through a third-party app or platform (such as through The Student Room's main site), cancelling in the wrong place won't work. Check your bank statement to see which company charged you-Get Revising directly or a parent company. Cancel through the platform that actually billed you. If you're unsure, contact Get Revising support and ask them where your subscription is managed.
Missing the renewal date
Get Revising typically sends a renewal notice a few days before your subscription renews. If you receive this email, your subscription will renew unless you cancel before the stated date. Many students read the email, think "I'll cancel tomorrow", then forget. Set a phone reminder for the cancellation deadline to ensure you cancel in time. Missing the renewal date by even one day means you're charged for another month.
Not checking account statements
After you think you've cancelled, check your bank or card statement for the next two months to confirm no further Get Revising charges appear. If a charge does appear after you've cancelled, that's evidence of a cancellation failure. Contact Get Revising immediately with your bank statement and cancellation confirmation, and demand a refund. If they don't respond within 14 days, escalate to your bank.
Assuming free tier means cancellation
Some students downgrade from premium to the free plan and think they've cancelled. Downgrading and cancelling are different actions. A downgrade stops premium charges but keeps your account active. Full cancellation removes your subscription entirely. If you want no further contact and no subscription, you must fully cancel, not downgrade. Stopee recommends making this distinction clear in your cancellation request.
After you cancel get revising
Cancelling is just the first step; what happens next matters equally to your peace of mind.
Confirming the cancellation worked
Within 24 hours of cancellation, log back into your Get Revising account and check your subscription status. It should now show "No active subscription" or "Free plan". If it still shows premium active, the cancellation didn't process. Contact Get Revising support immediately with your cancellation reference number and ask why it's still showing premium. Don't wait-the sooner you flag this, the sooner they can fix it.
Monitoring your bank account
Watch your bank or credit card statement for the next full billing cycle after cancellation. If no charge appears on your renewal date, the cancellation worked correctly. If a charge does appear, contact Get Revising immediately and provide proof of your cancellation request. Then contact your bank to dispute the transaction. Keep all communications in one folder or email thread for easy reference.
What to do with your saved resources
Before premium access expires, download any study materials, mind maps, or flashcards you've created. Get Revising's export or download feature (if available) lets you save these locally. You may want to import them into a free alternative like Quizlet or OneNote. Once your premium period ends, you may lose access to these files, so act quickly while you still have premium access to retrieve them.
Opting out of marketing emails
After you cancel, Get Revising may continue sending promotional emails trying to win you back with discounts or new features. Unsubscribe from these emails by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any marketing email. If you continue receiving emails after unsubscribing, mark them as spam. This step has nothing to do with your subscription but improves your experience post-cancellation.

Summary and next steps
Cancelling Get Revising is a straightforward process when you follow the correct steps and avoid common pitfalls. Log into your account, navigate to subscription settings, click cancel, and save proof of cancellation. If you've subscribed within the last 14 days, you're entitled to a full refund under UK consumer law. Monitor your bank statement to confirm the cancellation worked, and contact Get Revising or your bank immediately if you see unexpected charges after cancellation.
Remember, you have consumer rights protecting you throughout this process. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 guarantees you the right to cancel online subscriptions within 14 days, and after that, you can still cancel at any time provided the service gave you clear cancellation options. If Get Revising makes cancellation difficult or refuses your refund request without valid reason, escalate to your bank or local trading standards office.
