We are contacting you with an update about a Cambridge International AS Level Mathematics question paper (9709/12), taken in our administrative zones 3 and 4* on 29 April.
As we communicated on 30 April, this paper was shared prematurely against our strict regulations. The extent of sharing means we cannot use this paper to award final exam results for this syllabus. We are therefore cancelling this paper, and it will not be used to generate results through calculated assessment.
We know how frustrating and disappointing this incident has been for affected students, their families and schools. Students work incredibly hard to prepare for, and take exams, and we value the trust placed in us to deliver fair results at the end of the exam process.
Like many other exam boards, we regularly receive reports of exam paper leaks, and the vast majority of them are fake. These false reports typically originate from fraudsters claiming to have exam papers for sale to deceive students financially. We monitor social media channels routinely, focusing on any posts offering to share and/or to sell question papers. We work proactively with website and social media platforms to monitor content, and our Legal and Compliance teams investigate each claim. We then take robust legal action in pursuing illegal sharing.
We encourage all students to continue focusing on their exams, and we would like to assure them that the actions we take are in the best interest of Cambridge students.
*Africa, Europe, Middle East, Pakistan and South Asia regions, plus Cambodia, parts of Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam.
Next steps for Cambridge International AS Level Mathematics (9709/12)
Our priority is to make sure students are not disadvantaged by the wilful malpractice of a few. As part of our investigation, Cambridge’s senior assessment experts have taken the decision that a new version of the exam paper should be sat by all candidates in the affected regions on Tuesday 9 June 2026.
A replacement paper will ensure fair outcomes for all students and will deliver grades that are trusted by universities and other stakeholders. This approach aligns with the wishes of many school leaders who we have talked to. We are committed to making the replacement exam process as straightforward as possible.
What this means in practice
The replacement paper for Mathematics (9709/12) will take place as part of the June series timetable on Tuesday 9 June and will not incur an additional charge for candidates or schools. The Cambridge International AS & A Level results release date of 11 August remains unchanged.
We will share detailed information with you about when and how the exam will be conducted by the British Council by 15 May. This will include information on withdrawals from June 2026, and entries for November 2026.
Our commitment to exam security
The theft of this paper is the subject of an active investigation, and we are working closely with relevant law enforcement agencies and other partners to identify those responsible. Cambridge applies sanctions to those who share or misuse confidential exam materials, including permanent disqualification from its qualifications and operations.
Exam security challenges are not unique to any single board. They are a threat to all boards. Rigorous security protocols govern every step of how exam papers are produced, handled, stored and distributed. These measures are constantly updated as the types of malpractice threats change and have been adapted further in light of this incident.
ITS MAY 7TH, DID THEY ANNOUNCE ANYTHING YET???
I opened the website today and seriously why do they keep changing it?? its the only past paper website i used because of its simplicity and how well organized it is but because they keep changing it its now gotten so worse and laggy, why do they keep changing it without reason it was perfect as it was and the adds have gotten so much more worse, i cant even download a past paper now because it keeps taking me back to home page
