		</div><p>A cheating probe has been launched in the UK after images of an A-level maths exam were circulated online.</p>
<p>Images of a paper set by exam body Edexcel appeared on the web shortly before the maths test was sat by students on Friday.</p>
<p>Pearson, Edexcel’s parent company, said it had taken action to identify the source of the leak.</p>
<p>“Having visited a small group of centres within scope of the investigation, we have identified one centre in serious breach of correct practice,” the firm said.</p>
<p>“We are determined to identify the individual involved, and hold them to account.”</p>

<p>Pearson said it was aware that images of the paper “were circulated in a very limited way shortly before the exam”.</p>
<p>It added: “All students should be reassured we have well-established processes in place to ensure no-one will be advantaged or disadvantaged, and this paper will not have to be resat.”</p>
<p>The incident comes after similar leaks in 2017 and 2018 when A-level maths papers were put up online ahead of the tests.</p>
<p>The leaks were probed by the police and evidence was passed to the Crown Prosecution Service for consideration over whether criminal charges should be brought.</p>
<p>Earlier this year, Pearson said it would be trialling a scheme where microchips were placed in exam packs to track the date, time and location of the bundles.</p>
