How to exit more than 1 for loop in Excel VBA?

The code is like:

'first for loop
for I = 1 to 5 
    do sth
    'second for loop
    for j = 2 to 7
        do sth
        'third for loop
        for m = 2 to 43
            if [condition] then 
               exit 2nd and 3rd loop and continue on next I ?????
            end if
        next
    next
next

I wrote two Exit For, but it did not help. It only exited the 3rd for loop and continue on next j.

    For a = 1 To maxRows
        If Exam1Grade(a) > 99 Then
        For b = 1 To maxRows
            If Exam2Grade(b) > 99 Then
            For c = 1 To maxRows
                If Exam3Grade(c) >= 100 Then
                    MsgBox ("Stop looking through the 3rd exam, you have just found the perfect score")
                    GoTo ThisPoint 'Exit All For Loops
                ElseIf c = maxRows Then 'Restart At A
                    GoTo NextA
                End If
            Next c
            End If
        Next b
        End If
NextA:
    Next a
ThisPoint:

The GoTo statement can act as a break

' first for loop
For i = 1 To 5

    ' dummy do loop, won't repeat, just creating a block to exit from
    Do

Next

If you nest a flag in your loops you can put an if statement prior to looping on your second loop. If the flag is true, then you exit the second loop as well.

'first for loop
for I = 1 to 5 
    do sth
    'second for loop
    for j = 2 to 7
        do sth
        'third for loop
        for m = 2 to 43
            if [condition] then 
               flg = True
               Exit for
            end if
        next
    If flg = True then Exit For
    next
next
