Dear Cambridge Assessment International Education,

I am writing to report the breach of examination business 9609 paper 1 and paper 2.

It has been really stressful, demotivating, crushing and frustrating for the past few days knowing that a subject with an already high threshold like business was leaked and knowing that many takers had already got it in their hands (before the exam). Many honest hard-working students had lost hope and some even stopped taking other exams and rescheduled it due to such breaches. 9609 12 and 22 leak is one of many breaches that occurred (9709 52 , 12 ....)

I hope such breaches may not happen ever again and I insist you to thoroughly and equally investigate all potential breaches as this would negatively affect honest students and kill their motivation to study.

Guys I messed up! The exam was not as hard as I anticipated it to be but I took too long on the first case study. I know that I'm getting a full grade or at least a 28 on the first case study but when I moved to the second case study I was only left with 25 min. I did 2a) I , ii and 3)(only one page) but for questions 2 b) i) ii) d) I pointed for ii), I was wrong with the calc for I) and for d) I was only able to write the definition 1 full analysis with a started paragraph of the 2nd analysis with relations to the case study. I'm pretty sure I cooked the first paper but the threshold will be high. Please give me a reality check. Do I have a chance of an A in business or should I prepare for Oct/Nov? (As level)

Any predictions?🤞😭

It has been very disappointing that papers are getting leaked here and there. The 9709 12 could be acceptable as Cambridge has replied to do something about it. But today's 9609 12 is just frustrating. Imagine grinding 280 definitions and proper writing techniques just for a leak to push the boundary of the already high threshold higher. What are we supposed to get 39/40 for an A and 38 for a B. Most of the students are most likely either trying to find leaks or have just given up. If things are going to go this way, we won't be surprised when other subjects like econ, stat, mech, ... get leaked. What should we do and do we have an option?

It is really disappointing to study 1 year and sacrifice 4 months for a single paper only for the paper to be leaked hours before the exam. At first I thought it was a joke but apparently it wasn't. It is really frustrating especially because paper 2 is much harder (p5) than paper 1. What should we do?
