For how long are copies of exams kept?

In Tennessee, the regulations regarding the retention of copies of exams stipulate that these records must be kept for at least 60 days. This requirement serves several purposes, including allowing individuals who may need to review the exams for feedback, and ensuring compliance with licensing and regulatory standards. Keeping the records for this duration helps maintain transparency in the examination process and provides a means of addressing any disputes or issues that may arise regarding the test results. Longer retention periods, such as 90 days or indefinitely, exceed the legal requirement and are not mandated by the regulations, while 30 days does not provide sufficient time for a review process. Thus, the requirement of maintaining the records for at least 60 days ensures that candidates have a reasonable timeframe for any necessary follow-up.
