The kids using AI to accurately predict this year’s exam questions

Students across Britain have discovered they can use artificial intelligence tools to reverse-engineer their exam papers with startling accuracy, raising urgent questions about whether the education system's most important gatekeeping mechanism has become fundamentally compromised. The technique—feeding AI systems past papers and curriculum guidelines to predict likely questions—works so reliably that some educators now fear it could undermine the validity of standardized testing at a critical moment when universities and employers depend on these scores to differentiate between candidates. The revelation exposes a widening gap between how quickly students have adapted to AI capabilities and how slowly institutions have moved to secure their assessment systems.
