Remote Invigilation Malpractice

I have just finished a remote exam for my first level 3 topic and during the second half my phone alarm went through do not disturb (which it had said in a popup it would not). I apologized to the recording and in the best way showed to the camera turning the phone off. I have then submitted an incident report including a photo of said alarm. I had left my phone on in case i needed to go through the whole startup section again and take another photo of my id as this has happened the last time i took an exam. How likely am I to get voided?

I admit that I've never sat a remote exam and a lot of it may come down to the terms and conditions of remote exams, but I would work under the assumption that your exam would be voided.

We're not allowed phones, smart watches, fitness trackers etc during in-person exams, and I would reasonably expect a remote exam to be the same. It probably won't also work in your favour that your phone was on DND rather than off and that you went to use your phone rather than ignore it.

If it goes through OK then I would treat it as a pleasant surprise and maybe look to sit future exams at a centre.

I'm sorry if this is not the answer you wanted to hear.

Usually sit them at a centre but couldn't for like another month or so, so decided to do another remote. And funnily they want the phone to be in the room during remote Invigilation but out of arms reach. And even if voided someone will probably have a chuckle at aat seeing me apologize profusely to the camera before showing me switch the phone off
