    Yes, we were told at our conference that we need to be extra vigilant in what we write on the papers as candidates can now photograph their script/data.

    Isn't it related to GDPR and each script is proprty/data of person who wrote it and hence each person is entitled to a copy of their own data

    Yes there was a case taken to Europe regarding exam scripts as personal data. As data subjects are entitled to a copy of their data they can now make their own 'copy'.

    Might increase applications to view for a year or two until the novelty wears off.

    I think it was a student in 3rd level. They did their exams but the college refused to give results until he paid some fees or something. So he took a case and won (Dunno if they allowed him graduate though).
    That's the urban legend I heard though.

    Your not entitled to scripts from psychometric testing though!

    Not quite the story. Accountancy exams. Peter Nowak. He got ticked off with the Institute of Chartered Accountants after he failed one particular exam for the fourth time, and they wouldn't give him access to his script when he requested all the personal data they had on him. The Data Protection Commisioner told him to sod off so he went to Europe about it. Here's the ECJ ruling:
