This may be accurate but it will terrify the original poster who is already nervous of the outcome of his mistake. I do not have facts to back up my claim but most of these penalties would be for things such as having revision notes on you, continuing to write after the exam has ended, cheating, and signalling to another student.
Or if you have your phone on you

Having a phone in your pocket is different to having notes in your pencil case and claims it will definitely result in penalisation is scaremongering. The school's exam officer will make a report saying whether the phone was turned on or off, how far into the exam it occurred, and if there were revision notes saved on the phone. The most likely outcome is an official written warning with action promised if the event occurs again in future during another exam.

If you do get disqualified, all your other exams with that same exam board will be disqualified too
That's generally not the case. A complete ban is very unusual and highly unlikely in this case.
I've just sent an email to my head of year so hopefully he will be able to help me or at least tell me what will happen..

You were right to hand it in; if it had been discovered later the penalty would be much worse.
Good luck

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I continued writing for about 10 seconds after my exam had finished today and had to be told by the head invigilator to stop. Is there any chance I may be penalised for this despite the fact I was just finishing my sentence?
Last year in my media exam someone's phone kept ringing and eventually he stood up walked to the front put his phone in the box and sat back down but nothing ever happened after it

Why didn't you just stop? Last year this happened and the student's last sentence was deleted and the rest of the paper marked.

I just wanted to finish the sentence and not finish half way through with no full stop or one randomly put there just in case I lost a QWC mark. I guess examiners deleting the last sentence is a fair punishment. Cheers

Hello I'm hijacking too, do they tell you about this or do they like write your name down and send it off as a complaint without you knowing?

It would be dependent on the leniency of the invigilator as it is up to the invigilator to report a candidate to the exam board.

Okay, thanks
Rules States no phones in exam halls so that's one rule broken but I think it would be harsh to disqualify.
Shouldn't have volunteered to give it up if it was off
