The wait is finally over for thousands of Cambridge AS and A-Level students in Pakistan as the May-June 2025 exam results were published on Tuesday, despite ongoing controversy surrounding alleged paper leaks.
Results Released for Over 100,000 Students
According to Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE), over 100,000 students from more than 700 schools took the June 2025 AS and A-Level, IGCSE, and O-Level exams in Pakistan. This year, Cambridge received over 127,900 entries for AS and A-Level exams alone.
Uzma Yousuf, CAIE’s country director for Pakistan, congratulated the students on their “hard work, dedication, and remarkable resilience—despite the uncertainty caused by regional tensions and alleged paper leaks.”
Free Resits Offered to Affected Candidates
CAIE confirmed that parts of three exam papers—Mathematics Papers 12 and 42, and Computer Science Paper 22—were leaked in Pakistan before their scheduled dates. An official investigation is currently underway in collaboration with the Pakistani government.
Students impacted by these leaks will be given the opportunity for free resits for the affected syllabus entries in the November 2025 exam series. This offer is available to candidates who took one or more of the three compromised papers.
The organization also issued a warning that exam centers involved in the breach risk deregistration, while any students found to be complicit could face disqualification.
How to Check A-Level Results 2025
Candidates can log in to the Cambridge International results portal using their unique credentials to view their grades. Schools will also be distributing printed statements of results throughout the day. These grades are essential for securing university placements, scholarships, and future career paths, contributing to the mix of excitement and anxiety among students.
O-Level Results Coming Next Week
O-Level candidates will have to wait a little longer, as their results are set to be released on Tuesday, August 19. Students who are unhappy with their grades can request a review through their schools and, if needed, appeal to the exam boards or the UK regulator Ofqual.
