My response was I ain't no snitch lmao it's late for me
My exam is in 1.5 hour and I was gonna say that lmao
I be thinking this too
you're cooked buddy
massive tip: During video prompts - dont watch the video (its easy to get distracted, if you are a very observant person) put your head down and just listen to the video itself.
instructions unclear, fell asleep
I feel like this test might be a little unfair to people with ADHD or autism. Like, Oh HAI all of my triggers!
@@imgoingtoexplode766 lmao
Quite useful thank u
@@dianacarbonate this is a test for doctors. They're not going to cater the exam to ADHD/autistic people
I truly don't believe the amount of words given in these responses is possible to type in the time allotted, even for the most experienced typist.
Definitely true. But I took it like, this is the best case scenario. Hit as many of these points as possible. It helped me remember to not fixate on one point and get stuck. ADHD-related perfectionism makes this test super hard!
The Casper only marks on what you did answer and not on what you couldn’t. If you can’t answer all 3 questions but you answered 1-2 of the questions fully. They score you on the 2 with a chance of still scoring full marks. Remember, the Casper wants you to answer the question fully with insight rather than see how fast you can type. Hope this helps!!
Thats what I think too.
I think it's possible, so long as you have that framework of what you're going to say in mind. The general concept of empathy, compassion, no assumptions, inquiring about different perspectives, etc. can be discussed immediately and prepared beforehand with some editing to fit the specific scenario. If you can type more than 50-60 words per minute, then you're ok.
I'm typing around 110-120 wpm and can fit in half a word doc of 11pt font, single spaced, in under five minutes.
@@veraserah Preparing a response beforehand and then editing it to fit the scenario during the test is cheating on the test unless you are given some sort of exemption from Casper
I scored in the 4th quartile (75-100%). This video was the MOST helpful for CASPER preparation! Thank you.
I have mine in 2 weeks. I haven’t prepared anything yet. Any suggestions please??
@@simrankaur1739 Definitely go over this video a few times, do the practice casper questions, and try your best to display empathy first and foremost. In the video he talked about talking to the cheating friend in private. Little things like that go along way. Expressing you would want person X to feel comfortable. Expressing how you would listen to another person's point of view while refraining from judgement. I even went over some of the practice questions with my friends and critiqued their responses to then add/enhance mine. If you can figure out what not to do, it helps. Remember this is all under "standard scenarios." :) Good luck!
@@katiecorriveau4149 Thank you so much Katie for your reply.
After watching basically every CASPer-related video on UA-cam, I have to say this is easily the best and most useful one. Terrific work! Thank you very much!
Thanks for your kind words, Armando! Good luck on the test! :)
I wanted to personally thank you for providing an alternative which seems to be more efficient than some of the other sources in preparing for the CASPER test. Please inform me of any additional sources to fully understand the ethical spectrum as well as if you can provide feedback for students answers.
Thanks again! CASPer is free if you are in the fee assistance program, for those worried about the cost.
Thank you! The best casper prep video on youtube!
Boy, those 5 minutes FLY!
You are the best for this, really helpful for me in prepping for CASPer. Also, I did theatre for years and your acting isn't all that bad, well done lol
Haha! thank you for the kind words :)
Hi thanks for your video! I just got my results back and managed to get in the top quartile, i was having some keyboard issues also with sticky keys. Your video and a few others on youtube were most helpful to understand the mindset going into the Casper test so thanks a lot.
This was incredible! Great work. Thank you so very much for this wonderful and in-depth video. I have my CASPer in three days and this made me feel so much better :)
Glad it was helpful, Ida! Good luck! :)
Thanks so much! I also used your guide for the work activities section. You are my go to for med school admission related prep!!
Glad to hear it! Thanks for being here.
Thank you for this amazing video! I thought my responses were pretty good after taking the practice run but the responses to these scenarios blew me away. Your analysis of them have been so valuable in assessing my own way of writing: I need to be less vague and emphasize my traits and beliefs, as well as those they are "looking for" in answers!!
You got it, Maria!
it is AI marked and so you need the key words to pass...the only way to get the key words in order to pass is to take a Casper course where they give you the key words to type in for your test or get them from a friend that knows the key words.
@@angelaanderson2105 what are some courses that have the key words? do you know a way i can access the key words?
@@angelaanderson2105 This is not true, the casper test is scored by real humans, and a different person scores each of your scenarios. This is stated in this video as well as on the casper test website.
thank you so much. Your answers are concise, and go straight to the point. these answers work best for the time given for the test.
This was very helpful and informative, I realized that in most situations I personally chose to take an approach that doesn't involve myself when dealing with a stranger, but was more receptive with the business partner question its good to know I have this flaw and will be aware of this during my test.
Wow we shared similar answers. I’m happy that I know how this assignment works! Thanks for this
Wait seriously in every other “Casper sample prep questions video” they sound like robots. This is the best video by far you’re hitting the key concepts and not just rehearsing a script
Also suggestion for a second video. Perhaps some demos of the questions that are more personal? Not asking you to reveal your personal life or anything but I took a practice test where the scenario was think of a book, movie or piece of media that has impacted you. And then the questions were like why did this impact you and then did it impact your ability to communicate with others or something like that? I just was so lost because I couldn’t follow the sort of gather more information and act with empathy route route
Thank you for the help! Taking it this week but they are definitely not cheap nowadays! 60$ + fee per school after the first for US exam
This is very well done. Concise, informative, and relaxed. Thank you!
this is an AI test and no one will pass without the key words the AI tech is looking for...and for that to happen you need to take a Casper workshop where they give you the key words.
@@angelaanderson2105 The one I took (for SAIT in Calgary) was marked from a panel of examiners which are also randomized - at least that's what they tell us.
This video is sooo helpful! I am rewatching it as I prepare to retake the CASPer for a new test cycle! Thank you so much
it is AI tech you need to all take a Casper course to get the keywords in order to pass...otherwise no matter how great your answers you won't pass.
@@angelaanderson2105 What are the keywords?
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL. I had no idea what I was getting into with this test. Between my ADHD and possible autism, I can get hung up BAD on some questions. But this was amazing practice. THANK YOU!!
Thank you, Diana! Wishing you good luck! :)
@@Shemmassian Thanks to you, I felt like I did well. And didn't freak out when I ran out of time!
@@Shemmassian Although spending the last week in a lot of group therapy sessions may have helped massively as well....
this is an AI marked test.. you need to take a Casper workshop or have a friend that has taken the workshop in order to pass it you need to know the key words that the AI technology is looking for.
@@angelaanderson2105 Stop spreading lies
Thank you very much for the best effort for us as a student.
just did my test - this video was so HELPFUL
How many practice answers to questions would be enough to be ready to pass the test?
I had similar responses but every word was misspelled.
The good news is spelling mistakes won't count against you on the CASPer :)
This was a very good video!! I learned a lot by this
Excellent video. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for this video, I was so nervous for this test before I watched this. Now I feel excited and ready for it!
you need to know key words by taking a Casper workshop as it is marked using AI technology...without the key words you won't pass...
Amazing advice!
Im not sure if you guys still check your comments but I cannot thank you all enough for this video. It was all i used to prep for the test and it was all I ended up needing to do really well. You guys rock!
Did you ace the test with this video? My Casper is coming up. Seems this video is good!
there are key words you need to know or you won't pass no matter how great your answers are because it is marked using AI technology.
@@angelaanderson2105 where can I get the key words?
My god, give it a rest. Shut the fuck up@@angelaanderson2105
Amazing video. Can you guys make another one!
Great video! I have my casper test tmrw and watching this has helped so much :) wishing the best of luck to anyone else writing theirs!
me too!!! good luck
I have my Casper test today too!!
me too 😫
I hope every one of you guys did well! I felt pretty good after mine how about you guys?
Glad you liked it! Hope your CASPer went well
This video was perfect, thank you
Your video is amazing and to the point. Please upload more scenarios. Thanks
You're very welcome, Sania! Glad you found it valuable.
This is helpful, but I think you should've tried limiting yourself to 5 minutes to give us example answers. The answers are perfect. Way too perfect to replicate during the actual test
Super helpful video! Thank you very much!
Our pleasure, Moge :)
Thank you so much for this!
I'm about to write mine in some minutes getting a little cold feet right now
How did it go?
Hope it went well, Emenike! :)
@@sumyyarahman1742 it went well you just have to be calm and Express yourself in how you know how to
@@Shemmassian yeah it was good your video really helped in preparing me
Thank you so much for making this video! Very helpful
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for all your helpful videos/resources!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for the help! This video is essentially all I used to prep and I got 4th quartile! Great information
Thank you! All your resources are so helpful!
Glad to help!
This video was super helpful. Thanks!
So glad! You're welcome!
Applying to McMaster University's RPN-RN Bridge next month! Wish me luck!!!
I enjoyed this task. I didnt do too well on the last question. but this video helped open my eyes more.
Glad you enjoyed it, Anna! It's definitely easier to prepare when you're having fun. :)
Hi Anna, this test is marked using AI technology and no matter how great your typing speed or wonderful your answers are you are being marked by an Ai tech program that is looking for key words because it is programmed to look for certain words. You have to take a Casper workshop in order to get access to these key words or you either won't pass or score high on the test. Anyone who has passed has taken the Casper workshop and knows the key words.
Thank you so much for making this video! this is SUPER helpful. I am taking my CASPER test tomorrow!
You're welcome and good luck!!
I'm taking mine tomorrow! How did yours go?
@@akulakaboom i did it for undergrad nursing and it wasnt as stressful as i thought but i didnt get into the program i wanted at trent :/ i got an alternate offer for honours science. still waiting on a response from western and mac though.
@@leysxo5991 did you receive any other offers?
@@animelover-wu8hq heyy! so little update i’m at uottawa for bsc in nursing (in french); i got accepted to uottawa for nursing, as well as feminist and gender studies, at brock for public health, trent for honours science, york for law & society… i think that’s it. i didn’t get accepted into nursing at western or mac, and brock & trent were alternate offers
oh my goodness i practiced with this video 2 hours before the exam (when I started cramming) after long day of work and got 4th quartile!!!! TYSM!!!!
@@happygrams342 Congrats!! We’re so glad you found it valuable.
This a great video much appreciated!!
If you could also give your sample answers in the description that would be amazing!
I really appreciate that these answers are realistically answers you could type out in a five minute span .
so many videos ive seen when they give answers, theres no way you possibly could put all that into five minutes.
We're glad to help!
Thank you very much! This is very helpful
You're very welcome!
I applied to a uni last minute when my family convinced me I had a shot, checked back 5 days later to realize that the CASPer test’s only available date is tomorrow! Here’s hoping with enough last minute prep and determination I’ll make it!
I have te test today
@@fortune6321 omg me too I'm so nervous suagajissjjzhz
@@twicetzuyu7668 mine is by 11pm WAT, I just did a practice test and man!!!, I am scared
I’m doing mine today too haha! 34 minutes to go 😬
let us know how it goes!!😁
Thank you!!
Do we have to assume that the first student was actually cheating? Isn't it possible he was looking into space while thinking about his answer?
And why are we talking during the exam? Isn't that grounds for someone thinking we're cheating too?
@@hannahhaile3201 Omg that too 😂
YOU'RE ONLY ETHICAL IF YOU CONFRONT AND THREATEN THAT CHEATER.
this video was SO helpful. this will be my second year taking it (vet school lol…sigh) and i did really well last year after watching this 😊
you need to take a Casper workshop in order to get the key words to pass this test...it is marked using AI tech and so you are screened for these key words no matter how great your answers it is an AI screener looking for these key words to pass the test....
@@angelaanderson2105 pls how can I access any Casper workshop available...can you recommend anyone for me 🙏
Thanks so much for this!!!
You're so welcome!
thank you so much!
Helpful and To the point.
Hey yeah so just sharing that the Casper test is marked using AI tech and the AI tech is programmed to look for key words. You need to type in the key words to pass...and of course the only way to know the key words is having a trusting friend that has taken a Casper workshop share them with you or taking an expensive Casper workshop to gain access to the key words. The Casper company does not have to reveal how Casper is marked under trade secret like KFC recipe chicken...but everybody knows that it is marked using AI tech...otherwise why would you fail if you don't have the key words this hints to tech programming that is similar to job site tech programs like Indeed that looks for key words or they don't forward your resume on to the employer...etc.
Would it have been valid in the third question of the first scenario if we said something along the lines of counseling and educating each of the culpable students, taking more of a rehabilitationalist approach as opposed to a punitive approach? I specifically mentioned discounting previous assignments and replacing them with new ones. Or does CASPer emphasize taking the more punitive measures like reporting all the wrongdoers irrespective of the circumstances.
No matter what you response, it's important to discuss various considerations. Adcoms are looking to learn now just your "decision" but also how you came to it. Therefore, spell out your thought process to win those additional points. It's like a math problem--you can get partial credit if you show your work, even if your final answer isn't 100% correct.
This test seems so overwhelming and intimidating.
We hear you, Carlo! Take it day by day, get good practice in, and you'll be just fine. :)
Bro this is fire tyyyyy king
We're glad you found it valuable!
Could you please link the supplemental practice CASPer questions you spoke about at the end of the video? I had a look on your website but I was unable to find it.
Hi Nisha, you have to take a Casper workshop in order to get access to the key words to type in during the test...as they mark using AI technology...no matter how great you answer the test you won't pass without the key words the AI tech is looking for or programmed to look for.
I have a quick question. When they give you the quote questions, will the quotes still be displayed while answering? I don't know why I have trouble remembering the quote. Thanks, Olivia
Thanks for the video. Also, for those who have worked for many years in the real world and have kids... the test is pretty easy, haha.
I wanted to let you know that the Casper test is marked using AI tech and the AI tech is programmed to look for certain key words. In order to get access to these key words you need to take a Casper workshop and when you take your test you have to type in the key words they gave you or the AI tech will fail you on the test.
My response is, I’d alert the professor of what I saw and have them formally investigate and handle what they deemed fit to the academic code of conduct we agreed to. What I could of seen could be wrong and the professor can investigate and form their own oppinion on the matter
I just paid $52 to take this test. The base fee is $40 for health science professionals.
how can you type that long of an answer with only a 5 minute timer
For the written scenarios, will I have access to read the quote/prompt again once I am answering the questions?
No usually it moves forward to the questions...but the quotes aren’t super long
I just wanted to say thank you for posting this video! It helped me a lot to watch this the morning of my exam and then I took the practice CASPER exam about 3 hrs before my real one. I got pre-selected to view my score for a pilot program they're doing and I scored in the 4th quartile, so I scored better than 76%-100% of the other test-takers in my cohort :) Thanks again!
Wow, that's awesome! Great job, Miryam :)
What company did you take your exam with>>????
@@emilyb3149 not sure what you mean. I took the CASPer exam on the CASPer website
@@mirymatu I meant your practice exam and was it useful??
@@emilyb3149 sorry I responded yesterday and I don’t think it sent lol.
If you were the professor would you not want to see why the felt the need to cheat? Would you want to address or identify any underlying issues such as a fundamental misunderstanding of the material, or perhaps a lack of understanding why cheating negatively impacts themselves and their colleagues?
I thought that too
I wrote about that in my responses as well. I find it imperative to know why they felt unprepared for the exam and felt the need to cheat. Maybe, as a professor, I need to change the way I teach to make the content more approachable. However, I also made sure to include some of the other content that the video mentioned. I guess we just have to be super quick thinkers and typers to nail all parts of this exam.
Hi Borat, This exam is marked using AI technology the test takers need to input key words in order to pass this test as the AI tech is screening for these words...you can input all the best answers but without the key words from a Casper workshop you won't pass
Is it good to give an answer addressing the person in the scenario in first person perspective? For example writing as your answer "hey Dan I've noticed you've been falling behind on your work, is there anything we can do to help you?"
I’m scared - I have the test in a week. I have extremely good ethics and morals. I’ve been working as an educational assistant with severely challenged children. I’ve seen it all. My responses weren’t what I liked. But in person I find my choices great
Hi RNH2013, I wanted to let you know that you need to take a Casper workshop in order to pass the test as they mark it using AI technology the AI screener is programmed to pick up on certain key words that you will only know if you or a friend take a Casper workshop and you are told what the key words are... Its is an AI test and to pass you have to outbeat the AI tech...
are we supposed to get 8 or 9 score to get into the program or every programs , institutions have their own score to get into?
Thanks for your video it's really helpful. I have a question and I'd like to know what u think if u dont mind. English is not my first language and the sentences I use are very simple with not so many elaborate words. Would that cause a problem? And what do you suggest for me to do to improve?
You won't be judged on complexity of your writing. Just make sure to get to the heart of the matter.
@@Shemmassian thank you!
Thanks for the great explanation,however, I can't find the link to ethical review from Washington University
depts.washington.edu/bhdept/ethics-medicine
thanks for the helpful video. Should we write complete sentences? Can we write short incomplete sentences since it may save my time. I mean phrases without subjects rather than full sentences.I believe raters do not look at grammar or spelling.
Hi Nalin! We recommend writing complete sentences so raters can clearly understand your responses. Check out our blog post on this topic for more detailed guidance: www.shemmassianconsulting.com/blog/casper-test
yeah so the Casper test uses AI tech to mark the tests and in order to pass the Casper test their AI tech looks for key words. You need to type in the key words in order to pass the test as you have to outbeat the AI tech to pass. The only way to get access to the AI tech key words is through a Casper workshop where they go over key words...you have to have these words to pass or score high on the Casper test.
For the last question I don’t think we can tell a story about a life in some tough part of town right?
im panicking for my casper this week and i have 48 hours to learn how to not become a sociopath :)
literally me right now lmao
What I wrote rather typed is so funny, where I am like... am I for real hehhe.
Thanks for the video, it was great practice! I was wondering if anyone could answer a question for me however - how do these rank in terms of difficulty of questions? Also, for questions with written prompts / quotes, does the quote disappear while answering the question, or can you see it the whole time?
Thanks again!
Is this a live exam, as in it is proctored by a person?
I feel like this is a test that people study for, but never use in real life. Who would snitch on a classmate for cheating? Some of these "correct answer" scenarios are a bit too unrealistic, I think.
Fair enough! We just want to make sure you know what the folks over at CASPer are looking for so you can succeed on the exam.
I was taught to never lie , cheat or steal or tolerate anyone who does.......but I primarily work in jobs that people could die if cheating stealing or lying were tolerated.
I have a neurological disease and I can barely use my left hand to type. Is there an alternative or extra time??
Reach out to them and ask them about accommodations: takecasper.com/2019/05/casper-accommodations-policy-and-procedure/
okay but telling your classmate that you're going to turn them in but you'll help them plead their case to the conduct committee against the thing you snitched on them for in the first place is crazy 🤣
We hear you! But remember the purpose of the exam: The Casper raters are evaluating your decision-making process and commitment to upholding ethical standards, even if it would be "socially unpopular."
Is it 5 minutes per question (3 sub-questions I mean)?
Are you offering tutoring sessions?
For CASPer? MCAT? Something else?
@@Shemmassian CASPer!
12 dollars!? In Australia they charge 90/ sitting
My answers are the same but the problem is, my word choices. Will that be okay? Please help! 🥺
Hi there! You'll want to ensure that your language is clear and concise, but don't worry if the words you used in your responses don't match ours exactly.
what do you think of using chat gpt to grade your responses? oftentimes it says mine are too unstructured even when my answers are quite similar to these. thanks!!
Given the nuances of Casper, we would avoid using Chat GPT to grade responses.
hey, my answers are not as long. i answer as best to my knowledge but not as many words. mine is usually like two to 3 lines
Make sure to highlight the main issues in each response and how you would approach situations; those are more important than response length!
mine was $52
Lmfao, I wrote I would mind my business
lmao
Here's a Casper question for you: What if my answers have many typos because I'm trying to fit all my thoughts in? Which should I prioritize, spelling or good content riddled with spelling errors?
Absolutely good content. CASPer says that they try their best to ignore spelling mistakes (so long as it doesn't impair clear communication), while they actively look for content
Am I the only one that thinks the answer for the first question sounded really pompous and holier-than-thou and as a result not at all compassionate? I think it's the way it's worded. Does anyone else have any thoughts? I'm trying to figure out how to change my answer to be better but that one doesn't sit right with me for some reason
I'm genuinely wondering if that's the answer this test was looking for. That's an insane response. "Threaten cheater/rat cheater out, then get involved with cheater in some advisory/advocacy capacity if they confess their trivial sin that carries a potentially career ending consequence"-----Can you imagine if another student threatened to have your career destroyed before it even began? That is NOT the kind of threat I have any interest in making towards somebody, that in itself could very well be life threatening. It's the schools responsibility to maintain academic integrity, not vigilante students. I'm gonna put my life or wellbeing on the line so this little ethical violation can be prosecuted, that's insane. Without knowing what this test is actually looking for, this information is basically useless.
I have to take the test in 2 days, I haven't prepared at all I hope it's gonna be fine...
Hi there! I encourage you to read our CASPer guide in preparation for your upcoming test date: www.shemmassianconsulting.com/blog/casper-test Good luck!

@@m1xxy46 Thank you for replying :)
I am a few years from needing to take the CASPer but I still want to see how I do. Is it possible to get my score just for my own use?
Unfortunately, you won't be able to see your score. Only the schools you apply to will be able to access it, so we recommend waiting until you're ready to apply!
@@Shemmassian okay, that is good to know. Thank you!
A few years, you say? By that time, they'll create an entirely new test for you to take. An evaluation of not only how you think as a professional, but also of how you breathe and eat. :)
Stress less for now and good luck in the future!
I have my test in 3 days and I'm scared
I love you
if you are given 5 mins to write your answer do you lose time watching the short videos?
