Do you get your exams back? (1 Viewer)

[Epiphany]

After they're marked and you get your results and all that, do you ever get the exam back?

 

[DaRanjed]

Nope. It's just like eth School Cert. They lock it up and after a certain number of years, they throw it away I think.

 

[rainbon]

One word...No. harsh hey

 

[Scanorama]

No they just hide it somewhere and when they feel it's time, they will probably burn it all

Little song about a man called Gough and a little boy who wanted to be
tarred with the same brush.
He learnt Latin, held his head up high and he hated the Liberals tho' he
didn't know why.
There were reasons - how long have you got?
There are always reasons - how long have you got?
The little boy's on the stage tonight, his name is Anthony Hayes and
he's doing alright.
They both went to the same local Canberra school, but Stevie was nine in
1972.
What a party - a big day for both of us.
A big reason to party - a big day for both of us.
Come over have dinner with me, we'll play chess and drink claret.
Walk slowly down my little street, can you bring Margaret?
November 11 was Armistice Day, a bushranger was slaughtered and Gough
was betrayed.
November 11 - he wouldn't survive the Governor - General in '75.
November 11 - a big day for all of us.
November 11 - Ned Kelly died, ahh shame Fraser shame and we all cried.
For you Gough you Gough you Gough Edward Gough Whitlam
You Gough you Gough.
Days of wine and roses, days of wine and roses.
All the artists flew in and all the arseholes flew out in '72.
For you Gough, you Gough, you Gough...cheers gough!

i think if u really want it back (for some obscure reason), u can get it.
something about the freedom of information act and privacy act
like if u write an essay and its an absolute rip snorter and u want ti back so u can publish it, u can just appply with that reason i guess

At least I gave birth to the Medicare, think about it when you go to your doctor for free

Somehow I think the Board of Studies is exempted from the Freedom of Information Act, or so I read from the IPT textbook

 

[rainbon]

I think it's actually more of a tribute song Goughie, not an attack. cheers!

 

[persephone]

i would really like my exams back. i think it's pointless to just burn or destroy millions of booklets...such a waste. all our work in those booklets and they just destroy them...

 

[~~Jess~~]

yeah but then there are pple who would never wanna see there exams again, so its pretty much a lose lose situation

you can apply to obtain your exam papers under the Freedom of Information Act. While UAC is exempt from Freedom of Information, the Board of Studies isn't. That is how Lazarus and Ragerunner both obtained their total raw marks earlier this year.

You can download the form from: http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/administration/foi_application_form.pdf

good luck!
