Using social media and examinations/assessments
While we like to share our experiences online, when it comes to exams and other assessments, we have to be careful.
- Sharing ideas online can be helpful when you’re studying or revising
- However, sharing certain information (see information on the right) can break the rules and could affect your results
- If you’re not sure what you can and can’t discuss online, check with your teacher
- If you receive exam content on social media, you must tell your teacher
- Don’t be caught out by scammers selling fake exam papers
Things to do on social media:
- Have fun
- Be responsible
- Report any exam or assessment content you see to your teacher
Things not to do on social media:
- Buy/ask for/share exam or assessment content
- Pass on rumours of what’s in exams or assessments
- Share your work
- Work with others so that your assessment is not your own independent work
If you do any of the above activities, you may:
- Receive a written warning
- Lose marks
- Be disqualified from a part of or all of your qualifications
- Be banned from taking exams and assessments for a number of years
