gcse photography coursework/exam, plagiarism ???!!!

in my gcse coursework i have already been given a raw mark by my teachers but it still has to be checked by examiners, do examiners check your photography studies for ai use, i used paraphrase in all of my photographer studies since i was never told this wasn’t allowed and thought i could, but we signed a form saying all our work is our own, does this mean photographs or the writing in the corse work ? I AM STRESSED!! i have worked super hard and my raw mark for 60% of my gcse was 53/64! i am worried i will be graded down or failed for using paraphrase and in some studies snapchat ai😬

also for the exam, do our teachers mark our 40% exam or is it examiners, and will they check through my photographer studies, since i found an old paragraph i used in a study and put through an ai detector and it came up as 100% ai generated and paraphrased!!! i would be devastated if i got a lower grade or failed for this as i have worked so hard in this subject and took time and effort doing photography shoots outside of school, and i dont understand why they would check my writing in my exam and coursework for ai? i wouldn’t have done this if i were told we had to write everything, but was never mentioned.

last question - if the examiners suspected me for ai use in my photographer studies, would they contact school, my parents or me before grading me down or failing me? or would they not even ask me for my reasoning, or if i actually did and give me a bad grade to open on results day? my parents know i’ve done this, a lot of people in my class use paraphrase, but it’s the fact most of mine are snapchat and paraphrase and sound a lot more in depth then my annotations, as they are from a pick and mix sheet.

sorry for the rant, im just very worried, SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME KNOW!!!!! it would be much appreciated :smile:

teachers mark everything.. atleast in my school.. the examiners just briefly look over everything to make sure marking has been done fairly.. and sometimes they just flick through for a few seconds.. they dont really do muchh.. dont panicc.. it will be okayy
