Disqualification procedure

If someone were to get disqualified would their centre find out and send a letter home? Or would the exam board send it. Oorrr would they just find out on results day? Would the subject even be listed on the results paper?

Also would they be made to sit all the papers in the series before being disqualified?

need more of a back story. How did you get caught cheating and what did you do? As it depends on the severity of what you were caught doing. I mean they can disqualify you from all future exams GCSE/A Levels for X amount of time, but they could also just give a warning. Did the teacher catch you? They might just caution you otherwise if it was an exam invigilator thats probably more serious.
DQ’d from what? GCSE’s? AL’s?

Just disqualification paranoia bc of a plagiarism issue with my coursework. It wasn’t intentional at all and my teacher didn’t give proper guidance nor instructions. Idk if the exam board will pick up on it but it’s already been submitted, so all I can do now is wait, worry and expect the worst

Did you purposely plagiarise content? If not I wouldn't worry about it too much and tbh if they are letting you sit exams I can't imagine they have noticed. By when you get your grades in August you'll know.
What happens if you suspected of cheating during an exam for gcse, does the invigilator tell the school, do they tell you. Like what happens and when do you find out. And do you get to defend your self against to accusations

Did the invigilators say anything during the exam? If you think they simply suspected, then nothing will happen if they didn’t take action because they would have had to do something at that moment. Eg pat you down, take pics of writing on your hand or escort you out the hall or something
I need advise my friend is in a similar situation he forgot to put his notes , and the invigilator caught the white paper sticking out of his coat pocket , he didn't actually caught him cheating, but the school have reported to the Aqa board ,? What will be the outcome ? Any guesses

my friend heard the invigilator give a simple description of a person in the back row saying they where cheating so would anything happen, would the person get questioned or could they be let off?
