Edexcel launches investigation after A- level maths paper leaked online.

Exam board Edexcel has launched an investigation into how part of an A-level maths paper was leaked online.

Blacked out images of two questions were shared on social media on Thursday afternoon.

Pearson, which runs Edexcel, said the images were circulated “in a very limited way” shortly before Friday’s Maths Paper 3 exam.

It reassured students no-one would be advantaged or disadvantaged and they would not have to re-sit the paper.

The questions were first posted from a Twitter account in a since deleted post, where the user urged students to get in touch, offering the whole paper for £70.

It is the third year in a row that A-level maths questions from an Edexcel paper were put up online head of the exam
