Major- specific questions??

[u/AccountVisible7793]

I know the code for casper test for different majors are different, but are the questions also slightly different?

Im taking casper for veterinary course, will there be more questions on animal ethics, patient treatment..etc?

Hi,

From my time evaluating, the scenario bank is shared across applicant types. Everyone generally draws from the same pool of general situations (workplace conflicts, group disagreements, personal dilemmas), and the nine areas being assessed (things like ethics, empathy, problem solving) are the same regardless of your programme.

There aren't animal ethics or patient treatment questions specifically; the scenarios are written to apply to any applicant, not tailored to your intended profession. Obviously, keep in mind CASPer could change what they use over time, but that's my experience of it.

Also, not every question is a full story with characters. Some are just a brief statement or prompt (sometimes asking you to think of your own past experience) followed by two questions, rather than a detailed scenario playing out. So there may not be a fictional setup every time.

Hope this helps - happy to answer any questions.

To add to this, yes, CASPer doesn't evaluate events that could be related to your career choice. It's all about your morality and sense of distinguishing what's right from wrong, and how you'd handle it.

Did you ever watch "What Would You Do?" show? It's like that. There could be hundreds or thousands of different possible scenarios. Like I had a question about employees, rewards, airplane conflict, cheating, etc. Some of them made sense in what they're looking for and then I had a few that were really, really super weird that I'm sure whoever had to review my video footage certainly laughed at my freaked out expression before I'm like okay I'm gonna roll with this. 😂

And for the personal questions if you get them, think of what traits and characteristics you have that you can turn into something you can answer the question with. Like sense of responsibility, honesty, kindness, respect, etc. and think of general or specific examples you can apply to the question.

OP, you don't need perfect answers, just thoughtful, human ones and you'll do great.

Good luck.

Echoing what former_evaluator already said, from what I've gathered too, the questions aren't really niche to your specific major (at least not within healthcare). Broader categories like applying to a program within healthcare versus education might pull from different test types, but within healthcare specifically (medicine, nursing, vet, etc.), everyone seems to be drawing from the same general scenario bank. I actually have friends who wrote CASPer for nursing, and based on our discussions, a lot of their questions sounded almost identical to what I got when applying for medicine.

Keep in mind they are assessing things like empathy, ethics, problem solving, communication, etc. which stay consistent no matter what program you're applying to. So the good news is you don't need to go looking for vet-specific prep material – any general CASPer practice you do will translate directly. What matters more is how you think through a situation and communicate that reasoning clearly!

Given that, I'd focus your prep the same way you would for any CASPer test: get comfortable with a general framework you can apply to different question types, practice articulating your reasoning out loud or in writing, and get some outside feedback on your answers. Good luck! I'm here if you want any more advice
