Will i get disqualified? Maths Aqa Gcse

im super stressed, in year 10 i had created an AQA allaboutmaths account after inspiration from a teacher, the school has to verify i am a teacher in order for me to get access to this account, long story short i have an account to it and i found out someone had tried to make an account but the school didnt verify it therefore they had been reported to Aqa and could face any penalty, i am super worried, if i get disqualified by aqa can i do maths gcse on a different exam board privately?

Your post is confusing. I'm sure plenty of students try to register for an account and it's not verified by the school so AQA ignore it. If something else happened then please try to explain again.

"Inspiration from a teacher" - did your teacher/school help you in any way to make the account? Also, did you put your actual name when making the account?

Yes i was stupid enough to use my school email, also my teacher knew i had that account even though i was not meant to. Do you think i have a valid defense?

But the account was verified and i have access to all of the resources but have not used it in a while. Aqa and my school had verified ot which is the most confusing part!

Ah I understand so your school saw that you had tried to make an account. But you didn't actually gain access (EDIT : the OP did).

I'm sure it's tempting for students to register for this so I'm guessing it happens quite a lot. I would have thought that nothing would happen normally but if your school reported it to AQA then maybe it's more serious and I shouldn't be guessing what will happen. I'll tag some people who know more:

Hmm maybe your school verified you by mistake? If you actually gained access to the resources then I can see now why your school would report it.

But then surely that is not my fault, aqa has to call the head of department i believe to verify the account

There could be a few things going on here and it's hard to know what will happen. Most people on here won't know either but I've tagged a couple of people above that may know more - you probably won't get a response tonight.

Thanks again
Never experienced this so I don't know what AQA's response would be but I doubt they'd ban you from any exams. I have had parents try to get eAQA accounts but they come to the exams officer to be verified so I just reject them and have not landed up with this problem.

I really don't understand your comment "inspiration by a teacher"
A student should not have access to all about maths, aqa release practice papers and recent papers through there that are often used by schools for mocks.
However, you don't get access to some more confidential things that are available through E-AQA and cannot get any exam advantage so I'm sure there would be no punishment if it was discovered.

sorry, it was very unclear, if i remeber correctly, a teacher was using it infront of us, so as a joke i told him i had made one and decided to make on while knowing that it wouldnt be verified, long story short, that teacher knew i had a working account but i dont understand why it was verified.

Hi do you have an e AQA account which i could perhaps use?
I successfully did that a couple of years ago when I was in school.
No one said anything to me about it.

I do but I would not share it - if I did I would be guilty of malpractice and it would probably be grounds for dismissal from my job.

True but you'd probably get +rep on TSR. Swings and roundabouts.
