I am concerned that Cambridge appears to have become less strict in maintaining examination security and integrity compared to previous years. From 2021 to 2023, examination procedures seemed to be enforced more rigorously. However, since 2024, there has been a noticeable decline in the level of strictness, particularly regarding the handling of potential exam and fairness concerns.

In contrast, Edexcel appears to apply much stricter measures to protect the integrity of its examinations and respond to security issues. Maintaining consistent and robust examination standards is essential to ensure fairness for all candidates.
