IB Exam Leak Affects 170,000 Students; Hongkongers Fear Retakes, Downgrades
May 6, 2024, 07:02 PM
The International Baccalaureate (IB) exams body is investigating allegations of cheating following evidence of leaked exam papers online, affecting 170,000 students globally. This has raised concerns among students, including Hongkongers, who fear they may need to retake exams or face downgraded qualifications. The leaks have been attributed to the unsynchronized scheduling of exams across different time zones, with only three variant papers covering up to nine hours in each zone. The IB has acknowledged the issue and is taking measures to remove the compromised content from the internet.
