On exams

He did well in/on his exams.

He cheated in/on his exams.

Which preposition should be used in the above sentence ? in or on ?
  

Top answer

I would use in in both instances. I guess that some native speakers would use on in the second because cheat is often used in combination with 'on'. They might use on in the first too.
