Stated plainly, because some students are accused over things they did not realise were a problem.
Situations where students genuinely do not know whether something is permitted. What to do about each, before the exam.

This guide is written from the student’s side. A flag is a moment somebody may look at, not an accusation. Nothing here is legal or medical advice: data-protection rules, evidential standards and institutional procedures differ by jurisdiction. The tool comparisons cover voluntary preparation and productivity workflows; they are not techniques for circumventing monitoring.
