CASPer Exam
CASPer is an online, open-response situational judgment test (SJT). It asks what you would do in a tough situation, and more importantly, why. This helps determine behavioral tendencies of applicants pursuing people-centered professions.
Multiple veterinary schools are now requiring applicants to take the CASPer exam. Not all veterinary schools take your score into account at the current moment- some just require the scores for data collection.

Tips:
Read the questions fully, then plan your response. Be sure to read all three questions fully, take a few seconds to reflect, then plan your response. You are provided 10 seconds to read each question before the recording starts. Be sure to use this time to read the question, take a few seconds to reflect and plan your response. Respond to all three questions. Focus on the content of your responses and do your best to respond to all three questions in each scenario. Casper raters are trained to disregard minor spelling mistakes when evaluating responses. Take the full time to respond. During the test, ensure you take all five minutes to respond to the three questions in the typed response section and the 1 minute provided for each question in the video response section. Don’t panic if you don’t finish your thought in a scenario. Try not to worry if you don’t finish your thought or sentence before being automatically progressed to the next scenario. Raters are trained to ignore incomplete sentences in both sections, as they know you are under a time limit. |
