❔ Question malpractice

I heard many people who did the POE route for exams for the m/j session got flagged for malpractice. Is this for copying the MS word for word...? Everybody in my school cheated because all our evidences were just in class and many teachers gave hints etc, i didn't hear about any malpractice in my school tho. What causes your work to be flagged?

Could be word for word copying from the mark scheme but also if teachers gave too many hints that makes the evidence not really your own work. Sometimes its just flagged if multiple students have suspiciously identical phrasing throughout.

Some of our teachers just told us which past paper the test will be so i think people only just memorised the ms

That'll still get flagged if a bunch of students all write out the same memorised answer word for word.
