• "Applicant and her spouse, also a physician, applied at the same time to become licensed in [State]. Part of this process is a take-home examination on [State] law relating to the practice of medicine; the applicant receives the exam at home and mails in the answer sheet. During the license application process, applicant's spouse submitted an answer sheet to the state law examination which resulted in a score of 25%. Upon examination, the answers on his answer sheet are identical in every respect to the answers given by applicant on her answer sheet. However, applicant and her spouse was given a different versions of the examination; her score was 97% (two wrong). Examination of the test booklets shows a number of notations apparently in her handwriting showing what pages of the code book are relevant to the test question."
