Hartismere School

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
