Cambridge International Education (CIE) has officially canceled the AS-Level Mathematics paper that was leaked and announced that students will not be graded based on it.
In a recent statement, CIE confirmed that students’ marks will be determined by their performance in the second AS-Level Mathematics paper and other examinations.
This decision follows the leak of the Mathematics paper on May 2, which was widely circulated on social media platforms, particularly Facebook.
The paper leak created a challenging situation for students, raising concerns about the potential cancellation of the exam and its impact on their overall grades.
Initially addressing these concerns, CIE stated, “We are looking into concerns raised about a potential paper leakage on 02 May 2024 for AS Level Mathematics 9709 Paper 12. This is being investigated, and Cambridge and the British Council are in close communication.”
To maintain fairness and integrity in the examination process, CIE has taken this step. The official report from Cambridge International Education UK revealed that the breach occurred in Pakistan and was exposed by students before the exam took place.
The report detailed that CIE’s decision not to award marks for the leaked paper aims to ensure all students are fairly assessed based on their performance in the remaining exams.
To further support affected students, Cambridge has announced that those wishing to retake the exam will have the opportunity to do so in November without incurring any re-examination fees.
