Victorian Government Releases List of 56 Compromised VCE Exams

Exam questions were inadvertently leaked online weeks before the tests, prompting a review of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority's practices.

The Victorian government revealed that 56 out of 116 VCE exams were affected by a publishing error that exposed exam questions online in hidden sections of sample materials.
Subjects impacted include core areas like English, biology, legal studies, and mathematics, among others, raising concerns about potential advantages for some students.
Education Minister Ben Carroll announced a comprehensive review of the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority (VCAA) following the resignation of its former CEO, Kylie White.
Interim VCAA CEO Marcia Devlin stated that preliminary assessments suggest the leaked information offered no significant advantage to students, particularly for the English exam.
The government assured students that VCE results would still be released by December 12, with independent experts ensuring fairness in the marking process.
