    But a lot of students got access so the number is huge.

      yeah my main concern is that british council underestimates the seriousness of the leak because only us students know how many of our colleagues had access, i literally came out of the hall and over 70% of them had done the paper in the morning and very few hadnt had a look. this whole system of exams will be a lot less authentic if retakes don't occur

    Really appreciate these videos 😢 this situation is really unfair for the rest of us, but also, Cambridge is only addressing Math Leaks so far, while completely ignoring Chem P4 leaks (it was circulating before exam too)

    I am an IB student who has just sat all of their exams in Timezone 2 in East Asia.
    This leak is much more widespread than normal, I think part of the fault is IB not splitting the times up, the 24 hr rule doesn't work. Furthermore IB have tried to downplay the impact of these leaks, I am worried i may not meet my conditionals because of this

    • @GingerMathematician

  • @Obaid-Ur-Rahman342

    We will probably get a Resist or the Papers that were leaked will be cancelled and we will me marked on other components. Last year when I was doing my IGCSE CIE had to cancel all exams from the 9th of May to the 14th of May because of some protests so they had to cancel exams for our safety. The papers that got cancelled for me were Biology Paper 62, Chemistry Paper 62, Physics Paper 42 and Urdu as a second Language (I can't remember which one was cancelled but I think it was 12). I got my grades in Physics, Chemistry and Biology and USL based on other components that I sat. Also there was a leak back in 2013 for 2 subjects and everyone who did the exams had to resit it. It's unpredictable as what will happen. Also many students not only Pakistan but around the world had the paper. This will have a major effect on the threshold.

      @@GingerMathematician oh yeah it genuinely went pretty well. It was quite easy compared to the past papers. Just that the last question which is the planning an investigation(im not sure if you know what that is) was a bit complicated. All my classmates had different methods of approaching it for that question so im genuinely lost. Also, i wanted to enquire about something. On tiktok, there are accounts which have posted the whole math paper 2 variant 2. Like the whole thing and it was the same as the one i wrote. But it was posted after my exam. My question is, will Cambridge do anything about it? And how on God's green Earth have they found the paper?
