TWO A-level exam papers due to be sat next week have been obtained by the Daily Mirror.

 

Students are believed to be buying the stolen questions then selling them on.

 

Subjects affected include A-level maths, economics, business studies, biology and chemistry set by exam boards AQA and Ed-Excel.

 

Both companies were last night investigating the alleged scam alongside officers from Scotland Yard after we passed on AQA business studies papers for units 2 and 3, to be sat on Monday.

 

No one has any idea how many students have had access to the questions, which are believed to have been circulating in schools across London including Mill Hill County School since Wednesday.

 

Maths graduates Nikesh Khagram and Nishad Khakhar, both 22, handed over the photocopied documents.

The pair offered the business studies exam for no payment after the Daily Mirror asked for proof of the fraud.

 

Talking about his supplier, Khagram, of Kenton, North London, said: "If he sells it to one person, that person will carry on selling it... when it's gone down to £50 for each one, anybody can afford it, so it will be everywhere."

 

He said he was not selling the papers himself on the black market.

 

Exam board AQA said it was aware of an alleged leak and is investigating.

 

John Mitchell, of AQA, said: "This is a very serious matter because this is a major national exam.

 

"We are carrying out an investigation and we have been interviewing a number of students. We want to make sure if anybody had unfair access to these question papers they do not profit by it."

Man... I'm gonna be sitting that exam on Monday.... :shocked2:

Are A-level exams being organised by the water companies now??:rolleyes:

Holy moly. a-level exams never leaked when i was taking them :\

Bugger I am not doing any of those...

Makes a mockery of the whole system. What's the point?

So new exam papers need to be ordered, i feel sorry for the people who don't have access to the leaked papers will find it hard because the pass mark will be pushed up..

You mean like me? :(

Because A-levels markings are done on a normal distibution marking system, so X% get A, Y% get B etc. (the raw mark is what you get in the paper, the uniform mark is what it is turned into). So if all the cheaters get 90%, it will raise the average up.

 

Don't worry, you can always resit in january, and you could moan to the exam board and they might give you resits for free
