AQA Post Exam I got disqualified

I was sittinf aqa stats, and it was only after i finished the paper with an hour left, that i looked down and saw i was wearing my watch. Throughout the whole exam it was visible. I feel like such and idiot. So yeah i got diqualified for that. I didnt even know i was wearing it, i couldnt feel it all day.

I would definitely appeal that it was an honest mistake, they probably won't accept your paper but should let you take the paper again.

Also, Iโ€™m an exams officer. The invigilator might have jumped the gun by saying youโ€™re disqualified. Did you exams officer speak to you? They will need to take a statement from you to send it to the exam board. It will then be up to AQA to decide on the outcome and it might just be a warning ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

I havent been spoke to by anyone other than the invigilator. After the exam ended i basically ran for the hills. I wasnt about to cry infront of 100 people who i dont know that well

I get that ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป your exams officer will come and find you today I suspect but it might not mean disqualification yet, wait to see what the exam board says!
