Possible disqualification from all AQA subjects A levels?

Sticky situation but I guess I had it coming. Basically I had cheated in one of the Non-Exam Assessments by having someone do the work for me (they provided me with help and I didn't reference them). I've basically plagiarized, made a false declaration of authenticity and colluded. Now I've already had a look at JCQ's malpractice documentation and if you scroll to the bottom, it tells you the indicative things for each offense and the level of sanction that could be applied. I think I may just be sitting on a disqualification at the very least, but because I broke multiple rules, would this be a disqualification from all A-levels?

Thing is that I have another subject and an EPQ from AQA as well and this is an investigation that has only just come up post A-levels. I have no doubt that they will have the evidence that they need as someone has reported me with it and I don't think it'll be worth lying to the exam board as I have heard that makes things a lot worse.

Just wanted views on this. Is it likely that I'll just face a flat out disqualification from all my AQA based subjects for that year, or will I only get disqualified for the subject the NEA is in? Seems harsh if it was for all but I guess cheating is cheating.

Do they know that you cheated? They might never find out 😂

Did you read the parts of the post where it says "someone has reported me", and the fact that there "is an investigation"?

Going to bump to see if anyone has experience with these sorts of situations. Also wanted to note that I am currently at uni and have been told that I might get kicked out for fraudulent results! What do I do?
