I think you are looking for filter_horizontal for the django admin. If that is the case, you should add the forms to an admin:

class ExamFormAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    form = ExamForm
    ...

If you would like to use filter_horizontal outside of the admin interface, you have to include the corresponding static files yourself, which is described in this question.
