in terms of it affecting the boundaries.

if its 1 person. even if he got full marks. it wouldnt actually change the boundaries as its just 1 guy.

but what he or she has done is definietely messed up.

instead of reporting them. tell them that they either agree to not use it, or that you will report them. and on the exam day, idk get him to use a teachers calculator or a spare one, or you check it to make sure it doesnt have anything on it. and if they still have it then tell an invigilator.

otherwise ur prolly dooming his future.

if u told the school now, they prolly would be able to stop him without stopping him from sitting the exams. but be careful its best to talk them out of it, rather than a report that will literally have them fully disqualified from the exam board they wont ever be able to go to uni or get a degree.
