Confidentiality - exam questions

Students participating in IB exams are bound by a 24 hour confidentiality rule. This means, you must NOT reveal or discuss the content of the exams outside your immediate cohort, including your teachers for 24 hours after an exam.  DO NOT write or blog about the contents of the exams either. If you leak questions, the exam board might trace the leak to you and they will take action. You will likely lose your grade, possibly your diploma. Your teachers will receive copies of the exam papers 1 day after you took the exam.
