Dear Mervat Waheeb
Thank you f or your enquiry, which we have raised as a Freedom of Inf ormation request.
I was wondering if i can get a copy for example candidate response booklets for the following subjects : 0610 Biology 0620 Chemistry 0625 Physics 0455 Economics 0450 Business 0580 Math 0510 English as a first Language 0478 Computer Science Because I have 8 subjects for IGCSE this May/June session (2024) and i want to know if i am on the right track on past
papers , it will be helpful if you hook me up with this booklet. I can confirm that we hold the information requested, but we are satisfied that it is exempt from disclosure in accordance
with section 43(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and we intend to rely on that section in withholding it. Section
43 of the Act permits us to withhold information if the disclosure would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial
interests of any person, including our own. We must treat all requesters equally and should consider any information we
release through a Freedom of Information request as if it were being released to the world at large. Whilst we appreciate
this may not be your intention, providing this data would be likely to give our competitors an insight into our performance,
strategy and market share, theref ore providing them with an advantage.
We are obliged to perform a public interest test when using this exemption. The public interest test requires us to decide
whether, in all the circumstances, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in
disclosing it. Af ter caref ul consideration we have concluded that the public interest is best served by us being
competitive in the marketplace as this enables us to successfully deliver our examinations. To provide this inf ormation
would be likely to impact the delivery of this service to our schools in the future and damage our interests without giving
the wider public any useful information. Theref ore, our decision is that maintaining the exemption outweighs the public
interest in disclosing in this instance.
If you are unhappy with the response you have received in relation to your information request, you have the right to ask
us to conduct an internal review of this decision by contacting Catie Sheret, General Counsel of Cambridge University
Press & Assessment, within two months of the date of this response, and should be addressed as follows: The Triangle
Building, Shaf tesbury Road, Cambridge, CB2 8EA, United Kingdom or send an email marked f or her attention to
f xx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx. Complainants have the right to complain directly to the Inf ormation Commissioner if they are
dissatisf ied with the outcome of the internal review.
Yours sincerely
Freedom of Information Team Cambridge University Press & Assessment
