Regional CSEC maths paper leaked ahead of exam

| 18/05/2023 | 24 Comments

(CNS): The Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) is investigating the circumstances surrounding the advanced leak of a mathematics exam that students across the region sat yesterday, including here in the Cayman Islands. In a short statement, officials said they were aware of the concerns that Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Math Paper 02 was likely leaked but have not said how this could impact results.

“This matter is of great concern to us; we have commenced our investigations and will make a definitive statement once the investigation is completed. In the meantime, candidates can rest assured that this matter is being treated with the highest urgency,” officials from the CXC said in a short statement.

According to regional media reports, the paper was leaked to several students at two schools in St Vincent the night before the exam. Images of the paper were then shared on social media.

        Bullshit, the exams, like the teachers, are from the Caribbean. The government is participating in the destruction of the Caymanian people, and their potential.

        Especially given some of the teachers may have to come from functioning first world countries.

    it’s fair if everyone gets the certificates (paper 2 is a headache what’s the sense of resitting it if it going to leak again? plus (no one supposed to know what’s coming on the paper; period!) ”some of them studied to cheat before the exam” totally unfair to the rest who didn’t see the paper or even study

    To be honest, they should give everyone, including those who actually put in the effort for passing that paper plus the sense of resetting it if it is going to leak again or even with the paper leaked most students going to still fail if resetting. plus my statement is fair why leak papers before exams? ”we students supposed to not know what’s on the papers in the first place it will be unfair to everyone, even those who do the work and do not study

      It would likely take longer to memorize abstract sums and multiple choice matrix than to honestly do the test for real. But even that logic equation wouldn’t add up for a cheat!

      I totally agree with you ”it’s unfair to everyone” as I said before why leak papers before exams? u forgot i as a student can’t see what’s on the papers. it both unfair to the ones who study and those who don’t. no wonder why a lot of ppl getting grades 1 in math now i think cxc is a scam
