Community guidelines

A useful exam discussion must also be safe, private, respectful, and honest.

Who the community is for

ScienceDojo Community supports students aged 13 and over preparing for GCSE and A-Level exams. Parents, teachers, and tutors may contribute as supporting voices.

Privacy by default

Use a non-identifying pseudonym. Never post a real name, school, exact location, email, phone number, social username, candidate number, centre number, private message, or another person's information.

Exam integrity

Do not request or share leaked or live exam content, copyrighted paper scans, cheating instructions, impersonation, or claims that an unofficial source is an exam board.

How moderation works

New topics and ordinary-member replies are reviewed before publication. Trusted expert replies may publish immediately. Moderators may edit visibility, lock discussions, restrict accounts, preserve audit records, and urgently escalate safeguarding concerns.

Advice and official updates

Community answers may contain mistakes. Official updates link to primary sources, and students should confirm individual arrangements with their school, college, or exam board.

Reporting and emergencies

Use Report for personal information, harassment, cheating, exam leaks, misinformation, spam, or safeguarding concerns. If someone may be in immediate danger, contact a trusted adult or the appropriate emergency service instead of waiting for a community response.

Quick rules

  • Use a pseudonym and never share your full name, school, location, contact details, candidate number, or private messages.
  • Do not request or share leaked papers, live exam content, cheating methods, or copyrighted paper scans.
  • Be respectful. Harassment, pressure, discrimination, grade guarantees, and dangerous advice are not allowed.
  • Report anything unsafe. Community guidance does not replace support from a parent, teacher, school, or safeguarding professional.
