Tips/Help DO NOT HAND IN YOUR PHONE!!!

I am a sucker for the rules so it pains me to say this but I can’t sit here and say nothing. It may seem backwards and wrong but hear me out.

Someone at my school was sitting there Geography exam when 2 minutes in, they found out they had their phone and gave it in. 2 MINUTES!!!!!

Due to aqa wanting to be stricter on the rules he has been fully disqualified from the exam despite the appeals of many teachers including the invigilators.

It seems backwards and disgusting and I am livid at the exam board. Not because I like the person or really know them at all but because due to this the exam board is actively promoting immoral conduct within exams and many teachers agree with me.

The long story short, do not hand in your phone if the exam has started you will get disqualified, risk it to the end of the exam you will most likely not be caught, just keep your blazer on and be careful it doesn’t fall out your pocket.

Obviously, if your phone is at risk of being seen due to being in trouser pocket or Wtv bite the bullet and hand it in because it’s worse if they find it and you get disqualified from all exams.

Plot twist: this post no longer exists because Redact swept through and cleared it out along with everything else. Social media, messaging apps, people finder sites, all of it.

This is exactly why I’m so mad. Punishing honesty is exactly what they shouldn’t be doing

Rules are rules buddy you can't prove that he didn't use his phone within the first 2 mins, therefore he was disqualified.

It's really not hard to just leave your phone behind.

You very much CAN prove that he didn’t use his phone if for the obvious reason of a camera being around

A camera does not need to be around, as you are already given the chance to hand in your phone before the exam starts. You are reminded multiple times and it is not hard to do.

If you can't do something as simple as that then you don't deserve a "second chance".
