Both need an article, Hanuman: 1. ' -- this is the expected form. ' -- this is clear also, but suggests that the speaker imay be thinking of parts of the exam, hence 'in' the exam.

Both need an article, Hanuman:

1. 'She did well on the exam.' -- this is the expected form.

2 .'She did well in the exam.' -- this is clear also, but suggests that the speaker imay be thinking of parts of the exam, hence 'in' the exam. No major difference, to me. (On second thought, this may be BrE.)
