Question

"How did you do on the English exam?"  Why not say in the English exam?  Is there any difference?
I also saw this sentence: I did well in my exams.

Answer

We usually say IN (the) exams.
Examples: I think I did well in my exams. In the exams I was nervous. In exams I am always nervous.

However, we sometimes change it to ON if we are referring to specific parts of the exam. How did you do on the chemistry theory paper? (You could, of course, use IN)

Answer

In American English both are acceptable. In my experience, "on" is more common here.

Answer

You can say "in the exam". It is correct.
