KARACHI: The Cambridge International Education (CIE) AS-level Business Studies paper was reportedly leaked online, raising concerns over exam security.
The incident comes days after the CIE admitted that an Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Mathematics Paper 1 was leaked, saying the question was “shared prematurely in violation of our rules.”
The Business Studies paper, scheduled to be held today, was reportedly leaked and circulated online last night.
One of three exam papers circulating on social media platforms last night was Business Studies, code “9609 Paper 1”.
In a statement issued on April 30, CIE said: “We can confirm that Cambridge International AS Level Mathematics Paper 12 (9709), taken in our Africa, Europe, Middle East, Pakistan and South Asia, was shared prematurely in breach of our rules.”
The examination board said it immediately and thoroughly investigated the incident to understand the extent of the leak and determine the next steps regarding the compromised paper.
The CIE had said its priority remained to ensure students were not disadvantaged by the incident while continuing all possible measures to protect exam integrity and maintain confidence in the marks awarded.
