DoctorDouche Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Yeah I was timed out when commenting on the timing in the final section as well. God damn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquadon Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Just spilled and ENTIRE cup of coffee on my coffee table 2 questions in (including over a pile of photographs). Life fail. Had to wipe it up while one of the video's was playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
repede Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I'm taking my mid-CASPer break right now. Kylamonkey, I'll have to agree with you... this is actually really fun, though definitely stressful. I've botched a lot of the questions so far because there wasn't enough time, but I think it's pretty awesome - way better than those silly Autobiographical Submission questions!

bj89 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 anyone else annoyed at the red flashing 1 minute warning. That stressed me out even more....why does it have to flash!! I totally feel ya on this one... if you could graph my frantic-ness and stress levels, they would soar up once the timer turned red and started flashing haha. But like others have said... I actually kind had fun with CASPer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HorizonXP Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 15 minute break! I like this a LOT. My answers so far are decent, but the first couple sections were worse than the next few. Definitely took time to get the wheels spinning, but once they did, it was all good. Here's hoping for the best for the second half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm liking the ethical scenario questions, but not SO much the personal ones right now. Been pressed for time on a couple of sections but a bit more relaxed on some so maybe it balances out? Who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aquadon Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Kylamonkey, This is really similar to MMI. Good call using this as practice! Okay, back to the test! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks- I'm really glad I did it. It actually gives me a lot of confidence for the possible future "real" MMIs I do. I'm very sorry if I took a spot that someone else could have taken, but we will all get a chance to write it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
life! Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Just keep citing 'autonomy' 'paternalism' 'full disclosure', 'patient relationship', 'business duty', 'stakeholder prioritization' and 'proper development of relationships' and you'll do fine. dunno, I'd like to think that they're looking a bit deeper than whether we use those words.

tcw89 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 were there supposed to be many ethics videos? I only remember having 1 or 2... most of mine were on like decision making, which i was fine with because I'm used to most of these situations. wasn't a bad test at all - great for some insight on whats to come with the MMI, especially since I have the Dalhousie one in 4 weeks.. eek!

repede Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Well, that's it. Now that I look back, I feel pretty bleh about my answers... but I expect most other people feel the same. Good luck to everyone else who has to do CASPer still! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neoteny Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Just finished! Actually, I (surprisingly) liked it. I really thought it kept you on your toes, and I really had fun with it. To me, I totally forgot it was worth 50% of my score, and I just was on a roll with my answers. My only suggestion to them was giving us slightly more time. 7-8 minutes may have been better than just 5. 5 minutes flies by waayyyy to fast.

aquadon Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Definitely glad I wrote it later in the day...all of the panic this morning reassured me and helped me calm down when I saw the questions. Overall, not so bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcymorky Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 hrm... dunno what to think technology wise, my test locked after my 15 min break ended, telling me that i failed the pretest (but i was able to start?), but when i went to system check, i coudl continue the test from where i was (hopefully it didn't skip a section O.o) And then the textbox locked up on me at the end. Thankfully it was just the survey part, so I figure i should be fine... But yeah... damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I liked it too. I think the questions were kinda fun. I didn't have any major catastrophe and my computer didn't try and die on me. I'm really interested to see how this affects who gets interviews this year. Timing was tight, but thats the point right? Its to see how you think on the fly.

Violet Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Luckily, I had 0 tech glitches so on that front it was smooth sailing. I did find the time to be an issue - it was hard to formulate coherent answers sometimes and I know I misread one question. And I agree about the flashing, red countdown - it just added to the stress at that point. Overall, a good experience though. I'd rather they use this than my awful ABS answers.

small_town_girl Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Are we supposed to get some sort of e-mail after finishing? Just a record that we finished? lol And yea...it didn't seem so bad...I really got on a roll after the first couple sections. I skipped the break, since I was really on a roll. The time did get me in a couple sections.....(I had "medici" written when it cut me off ...but I think they'll get I meant "medicine"). I don't know what to think of how I did though......I think my answers were blech lol. Oh well...guess we'll find out in February-March-ish! Good luck everyone!

You should let them know about the glitch just in case it does have a negative impact on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquadon Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 There was just a char limit in the textbox... I don't think it was actually locking up. hrm... dunno what to think technology wise, my test locked after my 15 min break ended, telling me that i failed the pretest (but i was able to start?), but when i went to system check, i coudl continue the test from where i was (hopefully it didn't skip a section O.o) And then the textbox locked up on me at the end.

HorizonXP Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 That survey textbox locked up on me too. Overall, it was decent. My answers were decent, although that last personal question forced me to write about a scenario that doesn't put me in the best light. Here's hoping it goes over well.

vcklo Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Not meant to scare anyone, but that was freaking insane how fast I had to think and type. I definitely don't feel like I gave the best representation of myself, but I guess we're all (supposedly) on even ground. Good luck to those on Wednesday.
