Such a test was to be gIven wIthm 10 days The gnevor was gIVen a test wIthm that tIme She dId not obtam 70% on It. The umon requested a hearmg to deal wIth ItS assertIOn that the test gIven was not "sImIlar to the thIrd wntten questIOn m the ongmal competItIOn." When that hearmg convened, I was asked to deal wIth the Issue m an expedIted manner [3] Havmg heard the partIes' descnptIOns of and submIssIOns about the test and the CIrcumstances m whIch It had been admmIstered, for reasons gIVen orally at hearmg I concluded that that test had not been "sImIlar to the thIrd wntten questIOn m the ongmal competItIOn", and that I could not determme from the results of that test whether the gnevor would have achIeved the reqUIred mark If the test had been "sImIlar" Havmg addressed the ways m whIch the test was not "sImIlar," I dIrected that a "sImIlar" test now be admmIstered. The outcome of thIS further test wIll determme what else, If anythmg, must be done to gIve effect to the ongmal terms of the Mmutes of Settlement and remedy ItS breach. That decIsIOn and those dIrectIOns are hereby confirmed [4] After bemg advIsed of my decIsIOn, the partIes came to agreement on the followmg wIth respect to thIS further test. (1) As provIded m paragraph 2(1) of the mmutes of settlement, the test IS to be "sImIlar to the thIrd wntten questIOn m the ongmal competItIOn", and the passmg mark IS to be 70% (2) The test wIll be provIded to me m advance for approval as to whether It IS "SImIlar to the thIrd wntten questIOn m the ongmal competItIOn." That determmatIOn IS to be made 3 wIthout eIther counsel makmg submIssIOns on the matter, and wIthout revealmg the contents of the proposed test to the umon or anyone on ItS behalf or to eIther counsel. (3) The test wIll be gIven no sooner than 5 workmg days and no less than 10 workmg days after I approve the test (4) A umon representatIve wIll be entItled to observe the test on the followmg terms WhIle the gnevor IS performmg the test, the representatIve wIll walt outsIde the office m whIch she does that The representatIve may be present m that office before the gnevor begms the exerCIse to observe the opemng of the test file from the dIsk provIded, wIll observe the tIme at the begmnmg and at the end of the test, and may be present m the office agam when the gnevor saves her results to the dIsk provIded.
