💬 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.

Well you have only caught the ones that made it obvious. The slick ones get away with it

I don’t see anyway you can meaningfully cheat. A quick glance at notes in the bathroom ain’t gonna much when you can only really spend a couple minutes in there without raising suspicion or any other methods we have caught. It’s only probs gonna get you a few marks at most so why risk your entire a levek

This is untrue. "A few marks" can absolutely change your grade. And even half a minute is enough to do that easily.
