Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

What happens if someone knows your exam number?

naxmax9 · 2020-05-29 11:09:56

So someone knows my exam number I’ve already registered for the predicted grades with my exam number and everything already and I’ve confirmed my levels. Someone saw it after I had already done all of this. So could someone hack my account and change my levels or what could they do if they knew my exam number?

I have no idea how this system works (given that it's all new) but weren't you asked to set up a password or anything?

Can't see too many people even thinking of such a thing, let alone doing it, but I suppose there's always trolls out there.

To log in you needed your exam number and pps. You also set a password. So it's highly unlikely that anyone could log into your account to change your levels now.

Thank you, Pistachio. I was thinking it was unlikely that it was as simple as "know exam number, can change everything".
