00:00It was the exam fail that left more questions than answers.
00:07Last year, 11 errors in TCE exams left Tasmanian students feeling rattled and confused.
00:14Now, an independent review has made 34 recommendations for one of the state's education regulators to improve its practices.
00:22Those recommendations provide a really clear set of actions that the board needs to put in place
00:29over the next few years in order to ensure that we do meet the needs for our students and the learners.
00:36The report found that insufficient resourcing at TASC created a higher risk of error.
00:42The recommendations include improving salaries to help attract staff and hiring a copy editor to review the exams.
00:49The regulator says it is taking the report seriously and working with the government.
00:54To ensure that there is quality assurance in place to ensure that any mistakes don't happen again.
01:00For thousands of Tasmanian students, stressful TCE exams are fast approaching.
01:05The regulator has moved to assure students, parents and teachers that history won't be repeating itself.
01:11However, the ABC has spoken to a number of educators who are not so confident that this year's exams will be seamless.
01:18We're feeling comfortable and confident as we go into November, which is the time for the exams,
01:23and we have 40 exams that we are assessing.
01:27A big test ahead for the regulator.
