Edexcel grade boundary leaks - has it really happened again?

Plus if Edexcel can't trust exams officers not to leak grade boundaries then why do they trust them not to open/leak exam papers prior to the exams.

If exams officers don't have the personal or professional integrity to keep embargoed information private then what does that say about their trustworthiness with more serious things?

Not that I'm condoning the leak, but I can see how an exams officer could regard this as no big deal. It makes no difference to the grades that will be revealed tomorrow, and they will be public then in any case. If it was an exams officer who leaked it, I wouldn't assume they would even think of doing the same with exam papers.

I used to be an Exams Officer and privacy was always the number one priority and this was drilled into me again and again by the exam board (CIE in my case). Whatever was in it, I can't comprehend how any EO could leak a secure document to the public. It wouldn't even cross my mind that the data in the document was "unimportant".

If Edexcel find the culprit then they should be removed from their job immediately since they can't be trusted with anything.

Also the document had a watermark for bitcoin donations added. Why would an exams officer need/want bitcoin donations?

Unless you know what mark you got I am not sure how knowing grade boundaries helps. The whole point is that they are adjusted so that a certain % of applicants get A*, A, B, C etc...

anyone got ocr grade boundaries. the Google drive link doesn't open

Assuming they're real, this is bad news for Edexcel. Their reputation as the exam board who can't stop leaks has been strengthened. It baffles me how this can happen when only Exams Officers have access to them.

Also, for those thinking that the thread title / OP used to be different, you're all imagining it

Has anyone got/know the A* boundaries for further maths ?

There's at least one student on a discord I'm in with Edexcel Online details. I'm not sure the criteria, but it does seem possible for a student to obtain them legitimately. It only takes one of those students to release them (I strongly suspect it was a student and not an exams officer who leaked them).

AQA don't seem to hand them out willy nilly, hence why they haven't been leaked yet.
