Cambridge Offers Free Resits After 2025 Paper Leak – What Students Must Know (Pakistan Only)

Cambridge International has released a new update on 30 June 2025 regarding the June 2025 exam leak in Pakistan, which impacted AS & A Level Mathematics (Papers 12 & 42) and Computer Science (Paper 22).

This guide breaks down the latest announcement, explains what it means for students, and provides clear guidance on the best next steps for affected candidates and their parents.

🔍 Key Updates from Cambridge’s Statement

1. Results Will Be Released as Scheduled

📅 June 2025 results for the affected papers will be published normally (AS & A Level on 12 August 2025).

✔ Cambridge assures that grading will be fair and adjusted to account for the leaked content.

2. Free Resits in November 2025

🔄 Affected students (those who took the leaked papers) will be offered:

• Free syllabus entry resits in the November 2025 exam series.

• This is an optional opportunity to retake the exams at no extra cost.
  
  

3. Direct Communication with Schools

📩 Cambridge has messaged affected students and families through schools.
📞 Students with questions should contact their school exam coordinators for clarification.

❓ What Does This Mean for Students?

If You Wrote the Affected Papers:

✔ Your June 2025 grades will still be issued (with adjustments for fairness).
✔ You can choose to retake in November 2025 for free if you’re unhappy with your results.
✔ No automatic regrading—resits are optional, not mandatory.

If You’re Unsure Whether You’re Affected:

• Check if you took AS/A Level Mathematics (Papers 12 or 42) or Computer Science (Paper 22).

• Contact your school to confirm eligibility for free resits.
  
  

🚀 Best Way Forward for Students & Parents

1. Wait for Your Results (12 August 2025)

• Before deciding on a resit, check your official grades first.

• Cambridge has assured fair adjustments, so your results may still be good.
  
  

2. Should You Retake in November 2025?

✅ Consider a resit if:

• Your grade is below expectations and you believe you can improve.

• Your university/career path requires a higher score.
  

❌ You may NOT need a resit if:

• Your adjusted grade is acceptable for your goals.

• You’re already moving to the next academic level (e.g., A2 or university).
  
  

3. Prepare Strategically for Resits (If Needed)

📚 Focus on weak areas from the June exams.
🔄 Use past papers and mark schemes for practice.
⏳ Plan a study schedule—November exams are just 3 months after results.

4. Stay in Touch with Your School

• Schools will have detailed instructions from Cambridge.

• They can help with resit registration, exam timetables, and study support.
  

💡 Final Advice for Parents

• Stay calm & supportive—stress won’t help decision-making.

• Review university/career requirements before pushing for a resit.

• Encourage your child to focus on what they can control (preparation, not the leak).
  
  

🎯 Conclusion: Focus on the Future

While the exam leak was unfortunate, Cambridge has provided a fair solution (adjusted grades + free resits). The best approach now is to:

1. Check your results on 12 August.

2. Decide wisely on November retakes.

3. Move forward positively—this setback doesn’t define your academic journey.
