Not worth it. If the NEA is used towards your GCSE in any way at all, your exam board will compare your NEA mark and exam marks to make sure that they match up. Good mark in NEA and lower in programming theory questions ends in an investigation and

Sending out your programs and getting them flagged as plagiarism isn't going to help anyone. The risk is huge with no benefit.

I'm literally a teacher. I know the mark scheme. If you can't explain your program, the teacher will flag it there and then. If you get past that stage then the discrepancy in marks between the two assessments will flag to the exam board.

Either way not worth the risk sending it out.

Except the exam boards will still make the NEA compulsory whether the marks are used or not.

You can claim you know what's happening next but the reality is that nobody does and we've not been given a date. We know we'll find out during that week but other than that, nobody knows what happens next.

You can risk your assessment and everyone else's or you can wait it out to find out the next steps. Your choices. Doesn't affect me either way but my students are completing their NEA under the conditions I set and will be punished accordingly for cheating.
