Forbidden from exam discussion

Why are students forbidden from talking about what came in their exam?
Because it is hazardous to health :u:

I think it's because people all over the world can be doing that exam, and with the time difference some people can just browse the forum before their exams giving them an unfair advantage.

I've never been told to not talk about what came in my exam. And I don't think other countries use the exam boards from England. So, I'm not really sure why you're told that.

This isn't a problem any more - exam times are now adjusted so that everyone sites the same paper at the same time :h:
It's so that if you want to do the exam for fun when it gets publicly released you don't accidentally get subjected to spoilers.

So someone taking a levels in Germany and someone in Australia do the test at the same time?

Not really. For CIE International exams, there are paper variants depending on the timezone.

Yup, and if this isn't possible then the people in different timezones will sit different papers :h:
