The Priam IV test was a test given to cadets at Starfleet Academy in the 2340s and 2350s. It was the final test whose passing granted degree candidature and admission to the graduating class. It covered a cadet's responses to Prime Directive issues. It took place within a holodeck and cadets undergoing it were hypnotized into believing it was real. Data and Tasha Yar later thought of the Priam IV test in 2364 when deciding how to deal with the situation on the planet Treva. (TNG novel: Survivors) As an unsolvable test, the Priam IV test is similar to the Kobayashi Maru scenario.
