SQA malpractice

I don't know the answer to this. I may be wrong, my guess would be it depends where the evidence of malpractice comes from. If it's from the test papers, it may be that you won't know yet. If it's from something you were seen doing in an exam, I imagine the invigilators & school will have made you aware of this by now.
Please keep us informed and if you want more help - perhaps give us a little more detail?
I really hope this is a mistake you might have made or something you are just worried about as we build toward results day - rather than anything deliberate that you're hoping to get away with.

I forgot a few references in my bibliography in my N5 English portfolio. The reason I forgot them is because I was stupid to think that seeing as some of the info I found was on the same website for example national geographic meant I was able to just put down the reference as the link to the national geographic website. I also heard someone say that there friend got a letter a week before results day about plagiarism in there English portfolio.

Well, that may happen, it may not. There's no guaranteeing that you're safe at this stage. Prepare (emotionally) for the worst, hope for the best, and if you get bad news on Tuesday then come back to me in this thread with what has happened and I can help and advise you from there.

You’re talking absolute nonsense. Stop freaking people out. They would’ve been informed by now as they conduct investigations. You have absolutely no idea how the system works. If ur from England then of course that would be the case per se but why would you even bother joining the thread?

If you had common sense then it would be the same procedure for when the SQA would identify malpractice. This has come from a marker:
“SQA marker here:
If you have been caught, then the letter goes to the school first with a copy of your work and all the plagiarised sections highlighted.
The school then investigate and seeing as it will be pretty obvious and you've admitted it, a report goes back to SQA and your parents/carers are notified. Usually, we get them in for a chat to show the plagiarised sections.
Then, your exam grade will be a fail for English - I can't remember the grade code but it is the one reserved for candidates who either failed to turn up to the exam or cheated.
The SQA can also review all of your other grades and have those altered too.”

Erm I don’t think you’re being very helpful as you are creating unnecessary panic by spreading false information for no reason

For goodness sake, they let you know in bloody advance if you are caught. How many times do I have to say this???????

If I was caught for malpractice would I have been notified by know as it is under a week before results day?

How did it go?

Update: I got an A in English, didn’t affect my mark at all lol

I highly regret wasting my whole summer worrying about one minor thing lmao, soon as I saw my results I was like to myself, “What the hell was I worrying about all this time???”
Now we know that the SQA only care about plagiarism if it is done in large chunks. End of.
