In a major update for thousands of students worldwide, Cambridge International Education (CIE) has announced that candidates who sat for the three leaked papers in the June exam session will be able to retake those exams for free in November 2025. This decision comes after confirmation that exam papers for AS & A Level Mathematics Paper 12, AS & A Level Mathematics Paper 42, and AS A Level Computer Science Paper 22 were compromised during the June 2025 exam series.
According to CIE, all affected students will still receive their June results as usual for these syllabuses. However, recognizing the unfair impact of the leak, the board is giving candidates the chance to improve their grades through Cambridge Exams 2025 free resits during the November series — without any extra entry fees.
CIE has already communicated this update directly to schools and families of impacted students. A spokesperson emphasized that more details will be provided after the official release of the June 2025 exam results. Candidates with questions about the Cambridge Exams 2025 free resits are encouraged to reach out to their schools, which will coordinate the resit process with CIE.
The exam board reassured candidates that it remains committed to upholding the fairness and integrity of its global assessment system. The move to offer free retakes has been largely welcomed by students and parents who feared that the leaked papers could undermine their hard work and final grades.
The November 2025 resits will help ensure that students have every chance to secure fair and valid grades for university applications and future plans. Many students and educators are now waiting for further instructions on how to register and prepare for these additional papers later this year.
For now, affected students are advised to stay in touch with their schools for updates on timelines, entry forms, and exam timetables for the Cambridge Exams 2025 free resits.
