The wait is over for thousands of Cambridge AS and A-Level students in Pakistan as the May–June 2025 exam results were announced on Tuesday, despite ongoing controversy over alleged paper leaks.
Results released for over 100,000 students
According to Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE), more than 100,000 students from over 700 schools sat for the June 2025 AS and A-Level, IGCSE, and O-Level exams in Pakistan. Cambridge received over 127,900 entries for AS and A-Level alone this year.
Uzma Yousuf, CAIE’s country director for Pakistan, congratulated learners for their “hard work, dedication, and remarkable resilience – despite the uncertainty caused by regional tensions and alleged paper leaks”.
Free resits for affected candidates
CAIE confirmed that portions of three exam papers — Mathematics Papers 12 and 42, and Computer Science Paper 22 — were leaked in Pakistan ahead of their scheduled dates. An official investigation is now underway in collaboration with the Pakistan government, it confirmed.
Students impacted by these leaks will be offered free syllabus entry resits in the November 2025 exam series. The offer applies to candidates who sat one or more of the three affected papers.
The organisation has warned that exam centres involved in the breach risk deregistration, while students found 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 distribute printed statements of results throughout the day.
These grades are crucial for securing university placements, scholarships, and shaping future career paths — adding to the day’s excitement and anxiety among students.
O-level results next week
O-Level candidates will need to wait a little longer, as their results are set to be released on Tuesday, August 19. Students unhappy with their grades can request reviews through their schools and, if necessary, appeal to the exam boards or UK regulator Ofqual.
