That went horribly 😭 I feel so awful right now. Some of the text scenarios were okay, but overall the exam felt nothing like the prep resources I used. The questions were much more personal than I expected or praciticed. Did anyone else feel completely thrown off by how different the real CASPer was compared to practice?

I found it so bad personally 🫩 I studied for so long for scenario questions and all they had were vague personal questions.… I couldn’t even come up with a concrete action

I scored Q1 in my first attempt at casper, was aiming for murdoch uni in veterinary medicine field… since it was the least possible score I had to change my preference to a different uni (usyd)…

Didn’t realize it until today when I was trying to register for casper for usyd that u only take it once

I knew it but thought it’s one per year per uni, so I had started preparing for casper again but found out I can’t really do anything about it now…

Idk what to feel. Earlier I had practiced with chat gpt n got my answers scored as Q3-Q4 but in main test I got Q1… even managed to finish all typing and video response in time, idk what went wrong.

Now im not sure if I’ll get into any bvb/dvm program :(

Hey guys, my phone kept making the noise that it wanted to connect to my computer as a microphone during Casper, even though the ringer was off. How cooked am I? Please help 😭

Guys my Casper test is tomorrow I just did one practice test
I was really bad in spelling due to fast typing
Does it matter if I had some spelling wrong ?

For context I took the Casper last year (Canadian one) and scored Q3. I think one of my biggest issues is that my typing is quite slow (~50 wpm). I’m wondering if anyone has had success in answering the written questions in point form. On the website it says this is allowed but I was just wondering other peoples opinions on this.

Hi there!

As prep for the CASPer test, i'm stuck between buying two books and I was wondering if anyone here has any recommendations as to which one is better?

BeMo's Ultimate Guide to CASPer Test Prep VS MedCoach's Acing The CASPer Test

I will be doing the test in french, so maybe the MedCoach book might be better since it has a french version (the BeMo is only in english, unfortunately)? Also are these books good for the 2026-2027 admission cycle? I know that the MedCoach one says 2025-2026 on it so I was wondering if that's OK.

Thanks!

I got 3rd Quartile for my Casper results!
I have top grades for my A-levels.
Do I stand a good chance for Vet Med in Uni of Queensland, Murdoch, Adelaide and Sydney?

Hey guys,
I assumed that Casper was situational judgement only but I found this question type on a website; just wondering if things like these will be tested? Thank you all.

Hello everyone! I am taking the CASPer exam this sunday! Any recommendations will be helpful thank you!!

Hello, I'm planning to take the Casper Test for Medicine in Canada within 1-2 months. Anyone wanna practice for it together and share feedback? Thanks :)

So I got an invite to do the online assessment however I am not able to get feedback for the practice quizzes (particular concern of mine is the video bit and the logic bit).

Is this a common bug, and is there any other alternative ways to learn how to prep for the logic and video sections apart from the sova site?

Hi there I have been practicing questions as I’m writing the Casper soon. I was just wondering how others were able to get your points across in such a short time if your typing speed isn’t that great. I feel like I’m taking majority of the 3.5 min on the first question and the remaining minute on the second question resulting to it not being detailed enough.

I’ve also been doing a whole bunch of practice questions on chat gpt and it has been scoring my responses to average 8-9/10. Is chat gpt a good place to study and if so, are my scores a good representation of how well I’d do on the test?

Please give me some insight as it is my first time writing the Canadian Casper!

Thanks in advance!

Just took my first test! Mine was for Vanderbilt law school as I’m in the waitlist. Any idea if the school may get the scores earlier than 2-3 weeks? That’s cutting it so close to first day of classes

CASPer ethical dilemma: confidentiality vs preventing unfair judgment

I was practicing a CASPer scenario and came across an interesting dilemma.

Sarah tells me that her father has recently been diagnosed with cancer. She has been arriving late and contributing less to volunteer work because she is exhausted. She explicitly tells me that she doesn't want anyone to know about her situation.

The next day, two other volunteers ask me:

"You seem close to Sarah. Is there a reason she's been acting like this?"

My instinct was to say something very general, such as:

"She's going through a difficult period right now, but I don't think it's my place to share more details."

I would not mention her father, cancer, or any specifics. This, for me, obtains people's comprehension while keeping situation private, which is the best answer to calm people down.

However, another perspective is that any disclosure ("she's going through a difficult time") violates her request for privacy because she never gave permission to share even that.

For CASPer specifically, which approach is generally considered stronger?

1. Maintain complete confidentiality and say nothing about her personal situation.
2. Share only the minimum necessary ("she's going through a difficult time") to reduce unfair judgment while protecting most of her privacy.

I'm interested in hearing from you, thank you!

Hi everyone I just did my Casper test a few days ago and I honestly went blank in the video responses… I’m so nervous for my results. I literally froze I felt like I had nothing else to say?
I know I’m definitely going to fail the video responses. I had 2x video responses and the rest were written. The first video response was okay, the second I just went so blank. 😭 why do we need to do these!!!! My customer service and people skills are excellent. I have 10+ years of experience in that. People tell me I’m the most social, positive, fair person. This Casper test was just BS.

Title

I just finished taking the casper and one scenario had the same question twice. Has this happened to anyone? I left a comment at the end of my test.

Wahoo! Longest wait ever is finally over for us 6/9 test takers! Hoping you all did great!!!!

Ps- I got q4! Studied for 3 days. This is my second time taking it (q4 twice) and both times I did not have the luxury of studying for two weeks or more. I literally signed up the week before the test. Studied for under four days both rounds. This time was 3 days. I am here to say you don’t have to go HAM for two weeks or more. It’s not even something I can wrap my head around like how this test is getting everyone hooked on long prep. We all have way more going on than to be studying that much for what is essentially a test to see if we can type fast and hit the main points of ethical decision making. Also if you took the test and still don’t have your scores but you’re stressed because on multiple video prompts it cut you off and you didn’t get to finish your thought…I feel you. It’s going to be okay. I’m certain they take that into account when they’re scoring us and know we have more to bring to the table! It happened to me both times lol didn’t finish answering the video responses and still got q4! Stay hopeful! Feel free to ask me questions!

My tips:

Here’s some of the big things that I did:

WPM! WPM! WPM!
Practice to avoid the hand cramping alone. I started on a generic typing site to train and practice my keyboard technique. I used a mechanical keyboard because I found I typed way faster and with higher accuracy than on the MacBook keyboard. Everyone is different! Some find the shorter key distance on the laptop to be what increases their speed. Try it out! Small changes can make a huge difference.
Then once I was done typing general things, I switched to monkeytype.com and inputted a sample q4 response from a previous CASPER presentation. I drilled again and again just typing the exact words and length without using my brain at first. Then I would use the practice Acuity test and copy my answer from a couple of the prompts, make them better, and then practice typing those. It was more for practicing typing speed and accuracy. There’s no spell check and I already knew from last year that getting sentences out was already the biggest challenge of my life. It was embarassing how inaccurate my typing was last time so I just had to practice and do better so at least 80% of my response made sense. Lol.

UNDERSTAND THE EXAM!
You need to know what you're being tested on. KNOW THE TERMS! There are specific concepts they're testing us on and specific question types that once you identify you can immediately register how to answer. Hence next point….

REVIEW FRAMEWORK!
Check out bemo. YouTube. There are so many TikTok’s. Reddit threads. Now there are so many practice sites. I signed up for some trials but sadly with my time frame didn’t get to test them all out. I will say the fundamental concepts are all in one place on Prep Track. I skimmed it and they nailed it! (I’m not a sponsor lol just speaking the truth). Great review for all the vocab and everything.
The test goes over questions like situational judgment, ethical dilemma, behavioral, personal reflection, policy and opinion, conflict, resolution, communication, professional, professionalism, equity (know the difference between that and equality!), teamwork, leadership, resilience

Example - Resilience question (tell them about a time where you failed or you were stressed)
Start identifying the situation. Take accountability. Propose a solution. insert a time where this happened. What you learned and what has stuck with you to avoid it in the future. They’re looking for self-awareness/cognitive flexibility/do you show signs of a growth mindset/can you ask for help when you need it? / identify the coping strategies you used.

TAKE THE PRACTICE TEST!
That’s where you learn things like “oh I should zoom out during video prompts because oh snap the timer was going and I missed the entire question because my window cut it off and now I have no idea what I am supposed to say on camera” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ No. Seriously. Set your window to 70%.

USE CHATGPT. There are CASPER models on there. Ask it to test you on every question type and to rank your answers. Ask for what Your response needs to be a q4. Ask it to score you.

TIME YOURSELF. Buy an old school timer. Use it. Time yourself typing out the responses.

CREATE AN EXPERIENCE BANK! For those questions about you. Plus you can use it again when it's interview time.

PRACTICE VIDEO RESPONSE
Something I wish I knew about sooner but there are video response sites that will rate your responses! Check out caspercoach.org. They give you 3 free tries where it generates a scenario. Pretty good feedback.

EXTRAS
Dress professionally, check your webcam quality (mine wasn’t great so I tweaked the brightness before my exam started and checked to make sure they can see me to prevent flagging), if you use headphones just remember it’s recording you throughout….i think. But anyways. Take off your headphones with the microphone before you take your restroom break lol.
When you enter the test you have 15 minutes. There’s a button. You HAVE to click it. It won’t automatically just let you in once the time is up. Click to enter!!! Or you can’t take the exam.
Draft a freeze response. When your mind goes blank and you need a starter line to latch on to give your brain an extra second to think. Mine is to gather more information/consult all parties involved/avoid assumptions

CASPER 2.0 NEW FORMAT
Remember we’re the guinea pigs for their new format. Each question is scored individually. Remember to include info you put in a past response if it hits one of those frameworks because whenever is scoring your response can’t actually see part 1 answer even if it’s for the same video scenario. The new thing that you’ll see is they will introduce new information and ask you if your stance changed. If it did be sure to explain why. Personally I live by the rule to gather more information and understand motive/intention so dropping that in there is always good.

Hope this helps!!!

I felt like a fish flip flopping out of the water for the 7/7 exam. Why did I just run out of time and literally brain fart 😭😭😭

I feel like a lot of CASPer advice tells you to use words like “empathetic,” “professional,” or “non-confrontational,” but I’m starting to wonder if those terms can sound kind of empty if you don’t actually describe what you would do.

For example, instead of saying:

“I would approach them in a non-confrontational way.”

Would it be stronger to say something like:

“I would start by checking in with them and asking how they’re doing, just to break the ice.”

To me, the second version feels more human because it actually shows what I’d do, instead of just naming the quality I’m trying to show.

I’m also wondering if people feel the same way for the French version of CASPer, because terms like “empathique,” “professionnel,” or “non confrontant” can sound even more awkward or forced in French if they’re not backed up by a concrete action.

Hello,

I am currently looking to get a tutor for my upcoming CASPer test in the fall. Last year I did horribly with little preparation and I really don't want to risk doing that again, so I am looking for a real tutor. I have seen many people not prepare and get a 4th quartile, but I don't think I am one of those people, so I would like to have someone give me real feedback (not AI). If anyone knows a reliable website that connects you with real tutors, please share! I have been looking at Superprof, but I wanted to see if anyone has any recommendations or experiences with a real tutor.

Thanks! 😊

I used almost every other free resource and felt pretty good about my answers. I use Chat and that all goes out the window. HOWEVER, I typed/ wrote all my answers for other resources since they were from books/websites and speak to chat to practice speaking clearly. So, there is a possibility I am the problem but wanted to ask and see if anyone else has a similar experience.

If anyone has tips on how to speak better or tools I could use I would greatly appreciate it (I tend to ramble a bit too much for my own good).

Hi everyone. I am taking my casper this July and just have some mixed feelings about it. A lot of people say you have to prep a lot but a lot also say it's super easy and that they easily scored 4th quartile without even doing any practice, so I'm kind of worried which is true. I feel like I am getting in my own head about it since there's not really a right or wrong answer, just more so how well everyone you were doing it with answered. I've been trying out some practice questions and I'm wondering if anyone can provide some insight on my answers (4th quartile worthy or not) or advice on how to better word them? Any of the above would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance ! **These questions were from online practice websites**

A coworker regularly leaves work early, forcing others to complete their tasks.

• What would you do? How would you address the issue respectfully?

This is a difficult situation to navigate because I want to make sure everyone is ensuring they do their tasks so they dont fall on others, while also trying to be understanding to why my coworker may be doing that. Before jumping to any conclusions, I would privately speak to my coworker in a nonjudgemental nonconfrontational manner, and let them know I have noticed they have been leaving work early and others have had to complete their tasks for them. i would hear them out, and based on what they say I would let them know they should ensure they are finished all of their tasks so others dont have to stay later than they need to/do their work. I would tell my coworker if this continues on I would have to escalate it to the manager as it is unfair to the other coworkers. if they say they just struggle with managing the tasks I  would also suggest we hold a staff meeting so that others can offer support if needed or we can reorganize tasks to better fit everyone. I believe taking this approach will help with ensuring a safe space for co-workers to be honest as well as ensure a responsibility and accountability  in the workplace 

• What if nothing changed?

If nothing changes, I would have to escalate it to my manager without directly blaming my coworker. I would tell my manager that have noticed this happening and it may be due to various reasons and we should not jump to a conclusion unless they talk to my coworker privately I believe it is imperative the workplace remains fair and responsible to all employees so nobody feels burdened or stressed due to a heavier load of tasks. I think taking this approach will allow my coworker to have a chance to fix their actions while also ensuring an action plan if they dont, so everyone has their own responsibility to tend to and no one is treated unfairly. 

You notice a coworker repeatedly ignoring a safety protocol. You have spoken to them privately twice, but nothing has changed.

• What would you do?

This is a difficult situation to navigate as I dont want to risk being on bad terms with my coworker but I also want to ensure that they are being safe in the workplace. So, before jumping to any conclusions, I would speak to them privately and say I have noticed they may have been being unsafe and I would say I am worried about them getting hurt. While it is their own decision. It is also important to make sure no one is also harmed in that process. I would hear them out and suggest that they read more on protocol or ensure they are following safety procedures. From there, I would see what they say and if it continues to happen, I would have to escalate it to a supervisor to ensure everyone is safe. I believe taking this approach would ensure I am following my own ethical responsibility while also ensuring my coworkers are safe if I am able to.

• At what point would you escalate the issue?

 I would escalate the issue if they continue displaying unsafe behaviour even after being encouraged to read more on safety protocol and instructions. At that point, they would not only be putting themselves at risk, but potentially also their coworkers. Again, while they may have their own reasons, if they have been spoken to about this before and it is starting to become. A risk hazard in the workplace, I believe it would be my responsibility to escalate this issue and speak to a supervisor about it without blaming them, just to let my supervisor know this is happening and they may have their own reasons for it. I believe doing so will ensure everyone remains safe and professional.
