We have been alerted
to a potential security breach relating to some of our Edexcel GCE Mathematics

No other GCE
Mathematics papers have been affected.
A box of exam papers
has been lost during the dispatch process by the carrier responsible for our
distribution. We are confident that the extent of the breach is limited in
scope, but we want to be certain that the integrity of these examinations is
not compromised in any way. We will therefore be issuing replacement papers for
these examinations to all centres with entries.
ON BBC NEWS 13TH JUNE 2013
Edexcel says that
its maths paper due to be taken on 21 June will now be substituted by another
paper.
There were fears
that copies of the planned maths paper had been made accidentally available to
schools preparing for exams in Egypt.
"We are
confident that no student will be unfairly advantaged or disadvantaged,"
says the exam board.
MY MOON-SHOT
PERSPECTIVE
Although there are fears that the substitute “understudy” papers could
be harder, at least everybody is taking the same paper and is at a similar
disadvantage.
