eksamensudskrifter

Eksamensudskrifter is a Danish term referring to the written examination scripts submitted by students as part of assessments in schools and universities. They consist of the students’ answers to exam questions and may include any required accompanying material, such as calculations, diagrams, or supporting notes. Depending on the institution, scripts can be handwritten on paper or produced and submitted digitally.

During grading, eksamensudskrifter are handled by teachers or examination boards. To ensure fairness, many systems anonymize submissions, replacing personal identifiers with codes so that graders do not know the student’s identity. Grading follows official rubrics or marking schemes, and may involve moderation to maintain consistency across examiners or exam sessions.

After assessment, the results are recorded in the student’s academic file. Eksamensudskrifter are considered personal data and are generally subject to data protection rules. Access to originals is typically restricted to authorized staff, while students often have the right to inspect their own scripts or obtain copies, subject to institutional policies and deadlines. Institutions may retain scripts for quality assurance, appeals, or archival purposes for a defined period before securely destroying or archiving them.

Beyond individual assessment, examination scripts can be used for training moderators, research on assessment practices, or verification of standards. Policies regarding release, retention, and reuse of eksamensudskrifter vary by jurisdiction, institution, and level of study.
