Edexcel launches investigation into alleged A Level paper leak
Exam board Edexcel is investigating an alleged leak of an economics A Level exam.
This comes after pupils disclosed on Twitter that two questions from the new economics paper had been leaked on the Student Room website before the exam.
An Edexcel spokesperson told Tes: “We take all allegations of malpractice extremely seriously.
"We are currently investigating these allegations and, if we find that malpractice has occurred, we will take action to ensure that no students are advantaged or disadvantaged as a result.
"If anybody has information they would like to share with us in confidence, they can contact us at pqsmalpractice@pearson.com."
