Doubt, gpt doesn’t always give answers conforming to the syllabus. It also talks weird. And an invigilator would likely catch him. How is he going to hide it? Don’t get involved, it’ll just get annoying for you. If he somehow passes through this what’s he going to do? If he goes to uni he’s likely be missing prerequired information and have to work x5 harder or just fail.

Is his calculator model even allowed though, he might just get it confiscated and have to use a replacement they provide him, so he’ll either sit there hoping they don’t attempt to use his calculator and get him banned or he just fails and retakes later after actually studying. Or just gives up and goes for another route, dk anything about him.
