Okay, so I took my Maths GCSE exam a few days ago, and whilst checking through my paper in the exam, I was holding one of the sheets up (whilst flicking pages) not realising I was showing answers to another student. The invidulator came up to me and said you must keep your paper flat as it another student to my right can see it. I explained I wasn't aware that I was in fact revealing answers to another student.
She let me off, but if she didn't let me off, what would have happened?
Also, does this count as cheating as I wasn't the one actually looking at someone elses exam paper?
Plus, what happens if someone gets excluded from a particular exam? Do they get taken out there and then, told they've been disqualified, or find out only on results day?
