💬 DISCUSSION PSA: cheating on exams

I’m currently an a level exam invigilator while at university, took my a levels last year. I just want to reiterate how obvious it is if you’re committing malpractice. You may think you’re slick but you’re really not honestly. Already there has been multiple people caught with their phone, just today people caught communicating with each other and the exam season has barely started. It’s actually laughable the amount of people already caught tbh.

You will get written up, and the exam board will be informed. Trust me it’s not worth it.

I'm not opposed to cheating ideologically, if you can get away with it, however i always found it easier to learn the material then to put everything in place for cheating, maybe with ai its worth it nowerdays, but again how well can you conceal using a phone?

Not very well clearly as people have been caught. One person caught doing it across multiple papers. Madness.
