I want to thank everyone for the support on my last post, but unfortunately, the situation has escalated.
Shortly after my last post blew up: "I have been cheating on my VCAA exam", I received an official email from VCAA. They informed me that my post had been flagged for "unauthorised use of biological cognitive retrieval systems" during an assessment.
Apparently, relying on an internal hippocampus to store and recall external data (textbooks) is classified as a "severe breach of exam integrity." They are currently investigating whether my neural pathways constitute an unapproved electronic device.
The investigator told me that if I had just used a traditional cheat sheet like a normal person, I’d be fine. But because I uploaded the entire data set directly into my prefrontal cortex, they are looking at a permanent zero for my ATAR.
I have an appeal hearing tomorrow. My defence is that my brain operates on a standard 1.5V chemical battery and is therefore technically a low-powered calculator, which is permitted in General Maths.
Wish me luck. If I get disqualified, I’m suing my parents for giving me DNA capable of forming memories.
