Dude, you straight up gave him an answer. I mean, you should have though that through. If it wasn't necessary for your exam and you brought it up before your partner finished, you straight up aided in cheating. Yeah it was a lax environment, yeah you were trying to be nice, etc, but there's not many other ways to paint this.I suppose I should add some more information...
The proctor, my partner, and I were all in the room. I finished my assessment with fifteen minutes to spare so my partner started his. During his assessment, I realized that I had left out a tiny piece of the assessment which wasn't necessary for mine, but was for his. He was on that portion of the exam when I asked the proctor if I could add onto my exam since I had ten seconds left on the clock from when I started. The proctor said yes, and I exclaimed the answer -- after saying it, I knew my partner would continue with that piece of information but my true intention was to just get the point I had missed. After a long, long pause... my partner finally continued with that portion of the exam and I shouted, "Thank you! Christ..."
So it looks like I gave him the answer. I have a lot to say in my defense: the lax environment, the proctor gave me answers during the test, and I asked permission to add onto my assessment. I don't meet with the committee for several weeks and am getting headaches/losing sleep over it. Any idea what you think they'll do to me? If this goes in my file, are residency directors going to see that?
Do your best to present your case as innocently as possible, pray they buy it. If not, you'll probably have the mark of "academic discipline" on your record and it will affect your match results.I respectfully disagree, but it's beside the point. I'm looking for advice on how to proceed and how this may (or may not) affect me in the future.
Also, hope the school doesn't come on this thread. You can be accused of being coached in how to respond to this incident and it will be viewed as an admission of guilt.

What was on my part a momentary lapse in judgement has been viewed as blatantly giving my partner an answer during his practical examination. I'm getting called in to meet with a committee sometime in the coming weeks.
I'm a first year with no prior issues -- I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this type of situation. Specifically, if I end up with a letter in my file, is that going to hurt my chances down the road of applying to residencies? I'm super freaking out and am wondering if I should just voluntarily leave school now so as not to waste my time and money. Advice/experience is welcome. Thanks everybody.
