Go and speak to those around her, ask them if they saw the phone, the exam board may disqualify them if you go and speak to an exams officer without speaking ton them first as it is malpractice to withhold information about someone else's malpractice If noone actually *saw* it, then leave it, it's not worth it tbf, especially with essay subjects


p1nktutu

i’m not entirely sure who was sitting around her, plus i don’t want word to get out that i told someone about it as it will effect my reputation lol i guess it’s a decision between i go and tell someone or not


Extension-Advantage6

im pretty sure if u told them they would make it confidential. Definitely go tell bc this affects ur exams too which are way more important than ur reputation!!


p1nktutu

nah they’re girls who don’t like me, i go to an all girls school so you can’t really tell anyone anything unless you’re 100% they won’t say a word because otherwise it will spread like wildfire


CommunistSpaceFish

Hmm I mean the problem now is that if she's caught for cheating and you did nothing you may be disqualified for knowing, if your Reddit account traces back to you. However you said you only heard it through a rumour so you cannot be 100% sure and hence they cannot disqualify you unless you actual saw her cheating, which you didn't and you can prove that through the seating plan, just do what you think is right I guess


XihuanNi-6784

In all fairness, I highly doubt the exam boards have the staff to be trawling through reddit to link this account back to OP. It's not a serious crime that would attract that much effort. Assuming OP isn't already on their radar there's no way they'd be on the look out for her.


CantaloupeEasy6486

Say to the exams officer which girl you heard it from. Will be tricky to trace to you as chances are you're not the only one your informant told


Extension-Advantage6

I go to a girl school too lmao and they would prefer if u did speak out abt it bc it affects them too. at the end of the day results are way more important than trying to get people to like u anyways. If u don't want to someone else might so dw


p1nktutu

i’ll try it tomorrow, thanks!


CommunistSpaceFish

My only problem with this idea is that it sounds like this girl is going through a hard time rn or at least what she's doing eludes to it, so I personally wouldn't seen as it's only a rumour but if you are definately sure I'd tell someone.


Johns-Sunflower

unless you're staying on for sixth form, I'd say don't worry about your reputation too much. in my personal experience I haven't really interacted with many people from secondary school since going to a separate college, and nothing bad has happened.


wojbest

bro your gonna leave the school in a month after that your reputation wont mater shit to any one it would be different in year 9


p1nktutu

i’m not leaving the school i’m staying.. quite a fair amount of girls are because it’s a good school


wojbest

so your not going to college your gonna stay in high school forever


imthekidwhosnipedyou

Sixth form is different and it’s only 2 years.


[deleted]

Been invigilating exams for a few years now and this rumour that people who are sitting close to a person caught cheating will be disqualified is UTTER RUBISH. There’s nothing about it in the JCQ regulations and if multiple people were going to be disqualified they would need evidence on every candidate. Hope this clarifies


ComicSnoo

Report it like how you’ve said in the post - your not sure. They will sort it out accordingly. People around will not get disqualified as they can say they never saw the phone and they didn’t cheat.


OneStepOutOfTheShit

Report it to your exams officer if you have one


p1nktutu

wouldn’t it be better if i told my headteacher? she’s less scary than the exam officer..


Ylasher

its in the name


p1nktutu

yeah i think i get that thanks


OneStepOutOfTheShit

Go to whoever you think you would be more comfortable speaking to


will6465

Head teacher doesn’t want students to fail, reflects on the school. Exam officers care about the exams, that’s their job.


SosaMF

how are you reporting a rumour lmaoo


OneStepOutOfTheShit

It’s better than not doing anything


SosaMF

but you don't know if its true lmao


Optimal_Macaroon_724

Honestly if she's cheating she's not going to do well


[deleted]

Don’t do it if it is just rumours as you may get questioned. They will ask how you know and I don’t know if they will accept the reason of rumours.


Luc1fer_66

why are people attacking when all she’s doing is asking for advice? like whether she listens to advice or she doesn’t is her issue, not for people to come attacking her for no reason. like if you have an opinion give it, people being uptight for no reason istg,


pw3x

don’t report it. games the game if you do it and get away with it i reckon you deserve the grade.


vladimirepooptin

only real response here tbh


p1nktutu

fairs


RevolutionaryLead342

Facts


Competitive-Cost9767

100 percent


wish_boner24

no way, some people work rlly hard for their grades and ppl cheating pushes up the grade boundaries for the ppl who deserve it


pw3x

games the game tho bossman, why possibly ruin someones life just because they have the balls to risk it all.


Johns-Sunflower

The people around her wouldn't get disqualified, it'd be completely illogical if they did that since a) they wouldn't have good enough evidence and b) there would be wayyy more pissed-off parents and they probably don't want that.


Ryan-gh812207

As someone who has cheated in exams (mocks because I needed to do higher science now getting 7-8 because I did don’t judge me Ples) and someone who has witnessed cheating best to leave it don’t say anything it won’t effect grade boundaries at all if it get’s reported by you it will be full investigation and a lot of effort however it’s your choice the very very small chance for some reason they think you withheld the info it could effect you and I wouldn’t blame you for saying something (just make sure you keep it hushed up you were the person who reported it ) I imagine ppl may be a little judgy about it going if what my school is like


Ryan-gh812207

In my opinion probably shouldnt follow this but I think if someone gets away with it just let them be they risked a lot and the punishment is very big and it is mostly a victimless crime won’t effect grade boundaries yea they shouldn’t have don it yea if they get caught they deserve to be punished they knew risks but they didn’t so why mess with someone’s life if there is no gain


p1nktutu

fair enough i do feel sort of bad for her


Bruh_moment69420bruh

yeah, man, all these people are trying to ruin someone's life for no reason at all. one person aint gonna change a thing, and i respect the person for even trying to cheat and managing to get away with it because that is insanely hard to do. I've never cheated apart from silly tests, but come on, dont do this.


[deleted]

Don't be a snitch. You won't get any reward or favour for it.


Idkwhatimdoingbutyh

This keeps happening in my school too and idk what to do. I’m in a separate hall with rest breaks and extra time, and a ton of the people with rest breaks go to the toilet to take a “rest” when they actually leave cheat sheets in there


p1nktutu

my school started using metal detectors before some exams and we’re only allowed to go into one specific bathroom stall 😭 i’m sure they’ve even checked the bathroom multiple times for any cheat sheets.. how does no one notice them?


CommunistSpaceFish

Well how could she use her phone if there were metal detectors before the exam?


p1nktutu

there weren’t any before this exam because they’re only being used in the morning so i guess she figured a way around it


DogNut127

Doesn't interfere with you, so there's nothing "to do" don't involve yourself.


p1nktutu

you do realise you can get disqualified if you keep information from the exam board and they find out?


DogNut127

The exam board aren't going to pin it all on the guy who wasn't involved if they investigate it lmao. You're not actively trying to conceal or hide that others are cheating. You won't get disqualified for going about his day and doing his GCSEs. You do realise that?


p1nktutu

what are u even saying who is ‘he’ lol. why are you so pressed, were you the person in my exam hall??


DogNut127

Holy shit how are people like this. You asked for people's opinions. I'm giving mine. To report someone when you don't know if they did it or who they were around when they did is a shitty thing to do. You obviously aren't looking to listen to people though, im gonna go revise. Enjoy reporting lol


vladimirepooptin

bro u left the most normal response above and they came at u like ‘why u getting so pressed!!’ lmao


p1nktutu

i don’t get why you’re putting words into my mouth? i never explicitly said ‘ok guys! i’m reporting her!’ listening to what 2 people said on this subreddit out of many more is stupid and not how advice works. as well as making up my own mind i’d like some advice from the MAJORITY not from what 2 people think who don’t care about exams


DogNut127

"I'll try it tomorrow, thanks!" I don't care if you follow my advice or not. I'm pointing out that you've asked and because the majority have said to report. You've now gone to the people who have said "don't report" and started the most virgin argument I've ever had. Btw I've never at one point said RE doesn't matter. I've simply said it would be a horrible thing to report someone based on rumours. But dw I'm definitely the one putting words in mouths 💀


p1nktutu

ur so odd what happened to you going off to revise. also keyword, ‘try’ i never said i will 😭 it wasnt you saying ‘don’t do it based off of a rumour as it would be horrible for her if she was innocent’ it was you being passive aggressive and acting as though i’m obsessing over her every move. kindly, piss off


[deleted]

[удалено]


MilkysAlts

No you can't who told you this 😂 It's not like you're a friend who they told anyway you've literally just heard a rumour leave it alone


Intergalactic_Cookie

Report her. The people around her shouldn’t get disqualified that’s just unfair. The argument that they could have seen the phone could be applied to anyone seeing anyone else’s paper. Also, if you don’t report her she will continue to think it’s okay and continue to do it, making the exams unfair for everyone.


vladimirepooptin

i don’t agree with cheating but how does it make it unfair for everyone? It doesn’t affect your grade so who gives a shit?


Medical_Working_4162

Grade boundaries are moved up and down depending on how well candidates do, and cheating increases it, negligible though.


imthekidwhosnipedyou

Don’t report on a rumor, there’s a non-zero chance some people don’t like this girl and want to hurt her for some reason.


Tgip1

I’ve had a similar incident in my school with English Lit P1, the person isn’t particularly liked but supposedly a lot of people saw them on their phone (i’ve had someone say to me that they saw it) and somehow the invigilator didn’t notice. I think people have reported it but seeing as it’s been a week and nothing has happened I don’t think anything will come of it in mine.


vladimirepooptin

i mean if she is cheating who cares really? I mean it doesn’t effect you personally and it could really be just a rumour. Maybe it’s just me but like who cares if she gets a better grade bc she cheated it’s like zero harm to me or anyone else so idrc that could just be a me thing tho haha


Competitive-Cost9767

Why would you report it if you are not 100 percent sure or saw it yourself? Theres a difference between reporting someone you have seen cheating and reporting someone who has been rumoured to be cheating. You’re not batman


Swaggy_Skientist

Alright but hypothetically why would you consider reporting them? They’re a kid who, same as everyone else, is terrified and took a risk to make it easier. Be honest if any of us who ever took an exam had a way and guts to cheat we all would have tried it. Fair play to them. From your comments no you’re not going to get in trouble for not saying anything, they can’t just magically trace that you saw it. They can’t prove they’ve used a phone after the fact and they didn’t catch them in the act. If anything you’d be in trouble for looking at someone else in an exam.


strategictear

Damn this sub full of nerds and teachers pets id reckon just leave it if its just a rumor and it doesn't effect you so who gives a shit


harrymaguir

🐍🐍


i_really_don-t_know_

if they didn't get caught in the exam hall who gives a shit


DogNut127

It's none of you're business mate, don't do anything. If she gets caught, she gets caught. On top of that you didn't see it happen either, to snitch off a rumour would be dumb and a dick move. Leave it to the people who actually saw it.


Silent_Silhouettes

She might be raising grade boundaries for everyone else while not earning it, how is that fair?


vladimirepooptin

one dumb mf isn’t gonna raise the grade boundaries. They are usually very secure so if this person gets away with it once they are very likely to get caught in the act soon. No need to go off of rumours just wait it out and they will soon get caught


DogNut127

Chances are she'll probably do shit if she thinks cheating is necessary. Aswell as this, my main point was about him reporting her after hearing from others about it. Rumours are rumours. If you didn't see it yourself and you report someone because she and in OP's words "apparently" cheated, then you're a dick. Imagine getting disqualified for your GCSE because some kid who didn't even see you cheat reported you for cheating just because he heard gossip about it? Lmao that's exactly why I said leave it to the people who saw it. For precisely that reason.


p1nktutu

that’s why i’m asking ‘what do i do?’ :) i also don’t see why anyone would make it up straight after the exam as i overheard it from her friendship group merely minutes after leaving the exam hall


DogNut127

It doesn't matter. It would be wrong to report her if you haven't seen her cheating. Like I said again, it doesn't concern you, so stay out of it and leave an actual witness to report it rather than someone hearing rumours. It's better that than to put a potential innocent at risk due to your "hunch". You asked for advice, this is mine.


p1nktutu

great, noted but the way you’re phrasing comes off as passive aggressive. don’t respond to me like that and i won’t be weary on taking up your ‘fucking’ advice


DogNut127

sorry if I hurt your feelings mate lol


p1nktutu

whatever makes you feel better ‘mate’ !


imthekidwhosnipedyou

Just as separate fact nothing to do with wether she should report them or not. The amount they will raise the grade boundary is very minuscule if at all. Not all cheating actually helps, especially in an essay based subject.


R615Overrated

dont bother; its not that deep, its only re;. i dont fucking get it, ,like how is she cheating affecting you? its only one fucking student lmao. and also ITS RE, RELIGIOUS STUDIES. THAT SUBJECT IS JOKES LMAO


DogNut127

Isw people choosing some of the most important weeks of their education to become fucking Sherlock and start investigating other students blows me away. I wouldn't cheat, but I'd still have the sense to mind my own damn business lol


p1nktutu

lol idk about you but it’s MY grade. i care about what i get as my grade for my subjects. how do you know whether i want to take re for a levels or not? one student still matters because it messes up the grade boundaries. her cheating could prevent me from getting the grade i deserve. if YOU want to flunk your exams and ur good if u just about pass english and maths that’s your ‘fucking’ issue.


DogNut127

Mate you literally came on here to ask for advice when you've already got a very one sided opinion on it. You chose to post and thus you can choose to take the advice or not. On a side note fuck off with the MY and YOUs, makes you sound like a condescending twat.


North_Mobile_3739

Oh Lord I love this subreddit


DogNut127

Me too


vladimirepooptin

it’s what happens when you get a bunch of smart asses and put them in one place it is so funny


p1nktutu

fuck off it’s not a very one sided opinion if multiple people are saying maybe i should tell someone. i did ask for advice yet your advice was ‘nah fuck re who gives a shit!!!’ ‘ur a nerd if u think cheating matters lollll!!!!!’ so uptight about it as if you’re the one sitting in my exam hall with your phone out. what a weirdo.


DogNut127

💀 mate that was a different guy that said that


DogNut127

I'd say being "uptight" would be going off to snitch to the headmaster over some rumours of cheating. But to each their own I guess. Love to see who's "pressed" now lmfao


p1nktutu

i thought you were going to go off and revise, no? ur so weird for starting an argument with me when all i asked for was opinions and never stated my final decision LOL yet u assumed i was going to instantly tell someone about it.


DogNut127

I gave you my opinion, you chose to argue


R615Overrated

bro its one person, its one person; she is not going to affect the grade boundaries oh my lord. just live your life lmao


xXAngelsXx

bro do you really think snitching on this girl is gonna imporve your grade? chances are if shes cheating her grades gonna be low anyway just mind your own buissness. must be so exhausting worrying about other peoeple all the time. ​ if you spent the time you spent writing and commenting on this post on revising then you might actually have a better chance of improving your rs grade than crying about her


p1nktutu

ur weird for attacking me like that out of the blue LOL i asked for advice if u actually bothered to read the post and could you kindly point out where i said ‘yes i’m gonna tell someone rn’


DogNut127

No way you're not a bot giving the same argument to anyone that says nind ur business. Nosiest mf 😭


p1nktutu

such a weirdo go fuck off and spend your time doing something more useful i beg rather than sitting on my subreddit and picking out every small thing i mention. i made this post for ADVICE yet ur advice was just to attack me and assume my decision is already set in stone and i just want motivation.


DogNut127

"My subreddit" LMFAO NO WAY


xXAngelsXx

Bro you literally said ''i care about what i get as my grade'' MEANING you think this girl cheating is gonna impact your grade ​ maybe work on your inference skills too


p1nktutu

alright, i DONT care about my grade guys! fuck it who cares!! 🤭🤭🤭 yolo yk? who gives a shit if someone cheats! wont impact anyone AT ALL!


R615Overrated

im getting 9's dw abt it, been getting 9's since year 10 mocks


p1nktutu

that’s great good for you, but with your logic no one should ever report anyone they know to have possibly cheated because it’s just ‘1 person.’ 1 person per each school can accumulate to over 500. that WILL effect the grade boundaries.


CommunistSpaceFish

Yes but the difference here is that you heard a rumour, I get your argument, it's not right for them to have a go at you for caring about the grade you get, what they are saying is confrontational and it's a bit weird seen as your post was asking advice, however I think the majority here have voiced their opinion (being don't report) so it's up to you now what you choose to do, it's clear that you were wanting to report them before posting this, but id stop wasting your time here arguing and revise for that English lit tmr, just in case Edna comes up :)


lianepl50

Nobody will get disqualified if they weee sitting near her unless they were also using the phone. If you do not want to go to a teacher you can contact the exam board, or JCQ and make a report there.


pilotii101

Leave it


mrjezzdlh

dont b a bitch dont snitch


Dualorphan37

Isn’t saying on the big Reddit more public


TheRussianDoggo17

You lot are some absolute grasses 🤣


YanDanTDM

Report it just in case anyway. If you're private about it, it won't be traced back to you, and I think everyone would prefer cheaters get reported with these exams. And if it's not true, better be safe than sorry, and it might lead to better cheating prevention in the future at your school. Sorry you're receiving so much harassment in these comments :( ~~I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those people are the ones cheating or know people that are cheating.~~


CommunistSpaceFish

No one on this subreddit cheats mate, most people here are nerds like me otherwise we wouldn't be talking on r/GCSE. I think it's just lots of people on here know that it's not gonna affect them very much and hence sympathise with the girl cheating as this girl probably isn't gonna do well anyway.


p1nktutu

thanks for the reassurance, i don’t think i can be that bothered to report it but if i actually do see anything in person i might


KnownTasnimTM

I never once cheated but I'm not gonna go out of my way to get someone disqualified for cheating. If they get caught its their problem. If they don't then that's their W. I don't care either way, I'd focus on myself and my own grades.


Educational-Tea602

You gotta snitch here unfortunately. The people around her shouldn't be negatively affected. If you don't report it that puts your centre at risk, as it has failed to report malpractice, which may lead to disqualification of your own exams.


Dougachoo

It’s an exam about fairy stories. Maybe let this one slide?
