IB leaked papers????

Its a nonsense - a rumour started on Reddit with no basis in fact.
Forget it.

so I've heard that leaking IB papers is common? which is honestly shocking to me. our school puts IB on a pedestal like they keep their papers in the swiss bank or smn. so if M24 ib papers did actually get leaked, what does the IB normally do? make students resit papers? lower grade boundaries? or use predicted grades?

So the IB should have contacted your school by now or will be taking contacting them. Leaking IB papers is certainly far from common. Every May session papers do indeed get leaked but its on a very very small scale and not many people find out about it. You can compare it to MI5/MI6 agents, and November session never get leaked. If they do they are most probably schools. But this year it has reached thousands of people which has never been done before. (maybe M17 was similar). This year people who are involved in obtaining the leaks thought they were special and posted it on a sub-reddit now taken down. It had either 12k, 16k or 18k i cant remember. Although I knew about the leaks I never wanted to be involved in using them.
Some people have said that the leaks especially AA had over 10,000 downloads from reddit alone. Now the question arises will reddit know and share the people with the IBO on who have downloaded it. I don't know. For the people wondering who in the world shared it - from what I have heard some corrupt Irani schools had shared them online, the coordinators themselves. IB will take considerate actions, leaving no one who hasn't been involved disadvantaged. The IB do have mechanisms in place that can identify and address incidents of malpractice and atypical performance. In the coming days, the IB will be in contact with all schools, to provide further information and outline any necessary corrective actions.
The unfortunate part of the story is that, you may (most probably) won't find out if IB has determined you being involved until the day of the results.

It’s not common at all that’s why they don’t have reserves and all of us who are sitting the exams fairly are getting screwed over and having our work wasted

Im not sure if you're school received the update, but they released a statement in regards to the leaks in my opinion there is nothing stating what will exactly happen to the students who hadn't cheated and ensuring this wouldn't affect us, I guess everything will be revealed after examinations or final results, until then we pray that grade boundaries remain the same or lower.

it is NOT A RUMOUR

That's why IB is not the best model!!! But not all students can handle the A-levels!!!

Wait. IB Dip is harder than the A Levels! If students can't handle the A Levels, they shouldn't be looking at IB Dip.

I don't agree with that... at all!!! Alevels are far more academic. In IB part of your grade is coursework... in A level is 2 or 3 exams with any help or guidance..
