yeh, lord Xenu throws them into volcanoes, where the trapped demons of lost dreams escape and plaque the youth of the world. Study you say! No, just pay celebrities ridiculous amounts of money for something that sounds oddly psychologically inspired, despite their apparent fear of the concept

What were we talking about again?

Yeah, I think they destroy the answer papers. But they record the marks and other official stuffs to the VCAA student database for 10 years. ;)

Don't you hate threads like these? They may as well be called 'thread'. :P

Destruction of exam papers (or 'scripts' as VCAA calls them) isn't immediate - it happens in April the following year. This allows for students to inspect their scripts if they required. [http://vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/adminpolicies/reportstudentachievemnt/scripts.html]

They keep them for (i think) 6 months, then recycle them.

They should give them back so that we can complain, just like with SACs.

So we are able to show them all the marks they miss!
