Thanks for your question! Acuity Insights shares some of the information about how the CASPer test is scored with test-takers to help them prepare for the test. Our experts who were former CASPer test raters can also help our students understand how their answers are evaluated and rated.
@@BeMoAcademicConsulting thanks for your response! The at the time point I have the person made it sound like this is what the raters use. Is that speculative or based on fact?
Yes, CASPer raters are trained to evaluate your responses for these aspects and other soft skills, i.e. communication, professionalism, problem-solving skills and empathy. You can learn more about CASPer here: acuityinsights.app/casper/
Hi DJWorld! Thanks for your question. You do now get your quartile score. You can find more details on how the scores are released in this blog: bemoacademicconsulting.com/blog/how-is-casper-test-scored
Hi, thank you for your question. You cannot retake CASPer in the same application cycle. Your score is valid and used for one year. However, if you do not get into the program of your choice and decide to reapply, you will write the CASPer again for that application cycle.
HI DJWorld! Thanks for your comment. Firstly, consider whether you think you answered all the questions. Did you address all the important themes that you learned about during CASPer prep? It's hard to gauge how you did right away, but you will get your quartile score within one month of taking the CASPer.
Where can I find more information about the numerous areas and ethical concepts mentions around 7:55? like evidence based medicine, consent etc. Thanks!
Hi Jenny! Thanks for your question. Please read up on the regulating and governing laws within your state/province to learn more about being a doctor in your location.
Thank you for this video, are the questions that are asked on the Casper test base on your profession? I see that all practice questions are scenario of everyday life or events.
Not really. Many of the questions are not related to the profession you are pursuing. While there may be questions related to your career, the questions can also deal with moral and professional dilemmas in any field.
Hi Husam, thank you for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Each program will use applicant CASPer scores differently in their application decisions, so according to the CASPer website, that's the reason they don't provide scores to test-takers. Let me know if you have any other questions about how the test is scored that I can help you with! -Nadine
So this means that the only way to know how we did for the test is when we got accepted means we did well and if not means we didn’t get a high enough score
Hello Irish Henderson! Thanks for your comment. Actually, according to the resent changed, some of the CASPer score information gets released to the students. Please review this up-to-date blog for more info bemoacademicconsulting.com/blog/how-is-casper-test-scored
I don't like how its done honestly. They say don't assume anything yet still you register and pay for a test then you have to assume if you pass the test. Medicial school is competitive and every application differs. An applicant could be missing a doc and not get accepted. Now I don't know if I should continue preparing or casper to improve my score or if I did well.
Hi DJWorld! Thanks for your comment. Wait until you get your quartile score before you start making any more decisions with regards to CASPer. If you did not do well and you do not get into medical school, consider hiring professional CASPer prep help for next application cycle.
Is there a source from where you guys got the things the content is evaluated for [9:06 in the video]
Thank you

How do we know if we should improve our score if we don't know how we did?
Hi DJWorld! Thanks for your question. You do now get your quartile score. You can find more details on how the scores are released in this blog: bemoacademicconsulting.com/blog/how-is-casper-test-scored
Is it possible to take another test and make up the first one?
Hi, thank you for your question. You cannot retake CASPer in the same application cycle. Your score is valid and used for one year. However, if you do not get into the program of your choice and decide to reapply, you will write the CASPer again for that application cycle.
Should we assume that we pass or fail? Or would we be making a judgment?

What is the reason behind not knowing our score after taking the exam?
