Cambridge Says It Is Aware of Reported A-Level Paper Leak, Investigating Matter
Cambridge said it is reviewing claims that the full Pure Mathematics 1 paper was shared online before the exam, after students raised objections in Karachi.
- On Thursday, April 30, 2026, Cambridge International Education confirmed it is investigating reports that the Advanced Subsidiary Mathematics Paper 1 was allegedly leaked in Pakistan ahead of the scheduled examination.
- Claims circulating online suggest the paper surfaced on social media platforms including WhatsApp and Reddit in both unsolved and solved formats, with some individuals alleging it was sold through a mobile application before the exam.
- Unlike the partial leaks seen in June 2025, this incident is significant as a complete, solved paper allegedly circulated before the test, marking an escalation from Cambridge's previous partial question breaches.
- CIE stated it is investigating the reports thoroughly and will provide further information after the June 2026 examination series concludes, operating in 160-plus countries with internationally recognised exams.
- An unidentified individual claimed responsibility for the leak, threatening to leak additional papers if CIE does not change its approach; the Federal Ministry of Education previously conducted inquiries into similar security incidents.
