My advice would be to be honest, not argumentative, and explain exactly what happened.
-
I pulled the phone out with the intention to cheat.
-
I did not complete the cheat as I was caught in the attempt.
-
I turned the paper in immediately after being caught.
-
I have not habitually cheated.
-
I will accept whatever disciplinary outcome is assigned.
Maybe write this down and hand it in at the beginning of the meeting.
Accept the sanctions--not with a "crucify me" attitude, but phlegmatically. Then, go and sin no more.

There was about 30 mins left of the exam, everything had been going well so far, I got nervous as there was 1 question I hadn't answered that was worth a few marks, so I made the irresponsible decision to check my phone, the moment I pulled it out is when I got caught, the TA took my student ID and allowed me to continue with the exam. With the guilt of knowing what I had just attempted to do, I submitted my paper instantly after my ID was taken. I just received an email saying there will be a meeting. What should I expect? (Never done anything like this before)
