CXC denies examination paper leak

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – The Barbados-based Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) has denied reports on social media that “an examination paper” has been leaked.

In a statement, CXC said it “has been made aware of information being circulated on social media which suggests that an examination paper has been leaked.

“CXC wishes to advise candidates that this is a hoax. CXC frowns upon attempts by persons to spread false information and create panic for candidates preparing for examinations,” it added.

In May last year, CXC identified Jamaica as the country where its Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) Math Paper 02 examination paper had been leaked.

Earlier this week, the CXC's  Registrar and chief executive officer, Dr Wayne Wesley told students from across the region that they have been prepared "to advance the economic competitiveness” of the Caribbean.

In a brief message marking the start of the May/June 2024 examinations, Wesley said “it is that time of year again when candidates across the region are given the opportunity to demonstrate the competencies they have achieved”.
