Latest info from the exam board:

qualifications.pearson.com/en/news-policy/qualifications/a-levels/maths/a-level-maths-update-17-june-2019.html

They’ve found where the leak came from and police are involved. They’ll use statistical analysis of performance on previous papers to identify students who benefited from the leak, and will possibly disqualify them.

Potentially the blacked out questions that were available will be discounted from the exam.

I read on twitter that the paper was shared around some independent schools - these will be looked at closely.

Dd is really annoyed by this because she worked like crazy for months to get her grade up (interestingly she didn't think Wednesdays paper was that bad). She has heard a rumour of a particular famous independent school where the paper was shared internally, she wants them disqualified!
