Hey all, I'll be sitting the test soon and have been doing a few practice q's. I'm generally stuck at q3 because I'm struggling to look beyond the situation presented to me. Does anyone have any tips on how to improve to q4?
Hey! I’m planning to give Casper soon. Please can someone guide me how to prepare for the test.
Which resources to use?
I’m not sure where to start!!
I took the CASPer exam on 5/14. Obviously I am not expecting to recieve my score this week, but I am just curious for those who have already recieved scores in the past does it really take 4-5 weeks? Do they ever send scores sooner than that?
A recent pattern is appearing among people who have taken the CASPer test this year. Many felt well-prepared going in, but were caught off guard by some newer question formats.
Here are some that are worth knowing, with examples of what they look like.
1. "How, if at all, would this change your response?"
Q1 is situational; you explain what you'd do. Then Q2 introduces new information and asks whether it changes anything. That second question is a follow-up judgment question.
Example:
Scenario: A teammate submits a group report without telling the rest of the group that he used AI to write his section. The report has already been submitted when you find out.
Q1: What would you do in this situation? Explain your reasoning.
Q2: Suppose you later find out that your program explicitly permits the use of AI tools for this assignment. How, if at all, would this change your response to the previous question? Explain your reasoning.
Q2 isn't asking what you'd do next. It's asking you to weigh a new ethical consideration against your original position. The structure should shift - acknowledge what's changed, analyze the competing values, and reach a conclusion.
2. Hypothetical reflective questions
These don't ask what you'd do - they ask how you'd feel, or what you'd find most challenging personally.
Example:
Scenario: You are placed in a group assignment with two students you've never worked with before. Early on, it becomes clear that one group member is taking over decision-making without consulting the others, while the third member has stopped contributing almost entirely.
Q1: What aspect of this situation do you think would be most challenging for you personally? Explain your reasoning.
Q2: Based on your personality, how do you think you would feel having to address the disengaged group member directly? Explain your response.
There's no scenario to resolve here. Both questions are asking you to look inward - what this reveals about how you work, what you'd need to be aware of, and how you'd manage yourself.
Questions? Feel free to ask!
That was the dumbest exam I’ve ever taken lmao.
I just finished my CASPer and I think I just bombed my video section and my writing was iffy 😞
Just wondering if anyone else did theirs today and how they went?
