# Track upcoming exams with a synced Google Calendar

> Add exams to your Clamly calendar, view all upcoming deadlines at a glance, and use two-way Google Calendar sync to keep everything in one place.

The Exams page is a calendar for your upcoming tests and assessments. Add an exam once and it shows up across Clamly, with optional Google Calendar sync.

## Adding an exam

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Exams Page">
    Click **Exams** in the sidebar. The calendar view opens, showing the current month with any existing exams marked.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a New Exam">
    Click the **+ Add Exam** button or click directly on a date in the calendar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the Details">
    Enter the following information:

    * **Exam name:** for example, "Organic Chemistry Midterm"
    * **Subject:** helps you filter and color-code exams by course
    * **Date and time:** the exact date and start time of the exam
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the Exam">
    Click **Save**. The exam appears on the calendar and in the upcoming exams list. If you have Google Calendar sync enabled, it will also appear there automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Viewing upcoming exams

<Tip>
  Add exams at the start of every semester as soon as you receive your course syllabus. Seeing the full picture early helps you plan backwards and avoid last-minute cramming.

## Google Calendar sync

Clamly supports **two-way sync** with Google Calendar, meaning changes in either app stay in sync automatically.

### What two-way sync means

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Clamly to Google Calendar" icon="arrow-right">
    Exams you add in Clamly appear automatically in your Google Calendar. You'll see them alongside your other events without any manual export.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Google Calendar to Clamly" icon="arrow-left">
    Events from your Google Calendar can sync back into Clamly's Exams page, so existing academic events you've already entered in Google are visible here too.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

### Connecting Google Calendar

Google Calendar sync is set up from the **Exams page**, not from account settings.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Exams Page">
    Navigate to **Exams** in the sidebar if you're not already there.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Sync Settings">
    Look for the **Connect Google Calendar** button or the sync settings icon near the top of the page.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize Clamly">
    You'll be redirected to Google's OAuth authorization screen. Sign in to the Google account you want to sync and grant Clamly the requested calendar permissions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm Sync is Active">
    After authorization, you'll return to the Exams page with a confirmation that Google Calendar is connected. Your exams will begin syncing immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  For complete step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting, see the [Google Calendar Integration](/account/google-calendar) page.
</Note>

### Disconnecting Google Calendar

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the Exams Page">
    Navigate to **Exams** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Sync Settings">
    Click the sync settings icon or the **Manage Sync** option near the Google Calendar status indicator.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Disconnect">
    Click **Disconnect Google Calendar** and confirm. Existing exams in Clamly are not deleted, but they will no longer sync to or from Google Calendar.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Disconnecting sync does not remove events from your Google Calendar that were previously synced. You'll need to delete those manually from Google Calendar if you no longer want them there.
</Note>
