News that papers for exams this week – physics, chemistry and biology – were being made available to students writing the exams for a $5 000 fee – surfaced as the Ministry of Education published a statement saying that it has received no further reports of leaked papers following last week's security breach
with the Communication Studies Paper 11.

Sources told the Sunday Express that for $5, 000 – the same amount paid for the Communication Studies paper – students could get the exam papers for this week's science exams, and that they would be made available, via email, the night before the exam,
to the buyers.

A Sunday Express investigation uncovered a south location where negotiations for the papers were conducted. New recruits to the operation – students now discovering that CAPE exam papers could be bought for $5 000 and who want to make use of this facility – are asked to provide the operators with the name and contact information of a student or person who has bought test papers before. This information is checked and verified before any futher discussions take place that would entail the exam paper being
emailed to the buyer.

One source said the test papers being sold were the last draft of the exam paper, the draft that would have been sent for proofreading before being printed for distribution, under heavy security, throughout the Caribbean.

This would suggest that the leak is happening in Barbados. This draft is only available in Barbados where this final process takes place, the source added.
