Cases of malpractice detected by exam boards in England rose by more than a quarter last summer, new figures show.
The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority said in a report that 1,897 incidents were penalised by the AQA board, 1,762 by OCR and 888 by Edexcel.
Taking unauthorised items into exam rooms was the most common offence with 60% of such cases involving mobile phones - probably often accidentally.
A third of cases involved plagiarism, collusion or copying work.
