ISA Penalisation

Basically before the Section 1 of my actual ISA i went on to the website and checked the mark scheme what i needed to include in order to get full marks so when it came to the test i included what i needed to do however i slightly think i did it almost word for word will i get penalized for going on to their website say i found the answers for the test before etc.
thanks.

I don't understand if they didn't want us to use it then they would not have published it on their website

I used one of their exemplars and saw what was needed to be included in order to get full marks on a question it was on their site why should i be penalised?

Yr10 ISA right?

The new questions are very generic and get re-used a lot. The important thing is being able to apply the knowledge to your context.

So, doing an exemplar (which is published on the exam board website) and using the information to help you in a real ISA isn't cheating, it's preparing properly. Just like you'd do past papers to prep for a real exam (which might have some similar questions).

The question i would ask is, why your TEACHER didn't do the exemplar with your class as part of the prep for the ISA.
