Plagiarism or not?

hi guys,

so for todays lit exam - i got a question which was the same as one i was doing last night.
last night i found a model essay on that question so i did a mind map on it, but in the real thing i included a lot of what was on that model essay in my answer.
will anything bad happen to me?
Imo no. I doubt they check much in GCSE anyway.

Nope its only GCSE. If you do it again when at Uni and they found out then it would probably qualify. Some people have photographic memories.
No not plagiarism, don't worry! Everyone gets their info online. Don't stress :smile:
