hello, I’m in my second to last year of uni and i recently was sitting a in person written exam. Prior to the exam they were telling us the rules and one is to put phone under your desk or at the front. It was off and in my hoodie pocket under my desk. But during the exam I was cold and ended up putting the zipper back on.
Towards the end of the exam I was going to the toilet and the invigilator asked if I had anything on me, I had no reason to lie and told him I had my phone and asked if he wanted to hold it whilst i was in the toilet- I was too busy thinking about the exam I didn’t even think about how having it was breaking the rules.
Anyway he got one of the other invigilators and they told me they had to report me, which I totally understand, I broke the rules. However now i’m kind of in a standstill of endless worrying that I will be removed from my course that I love. I am waiting out a email for them which will take a few weeks and i’ve still to sit my further exams but I was wondering if anyone delt with this and how to accept the consequences of my mistake.
