desperate_premed Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 VR = 8 cGPA: 3.97/4.00 IP Should I give it a try this year? Planning to retake in January. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like McMaster doesn't care about our ABS either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desperate_premed Posted October 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Doable if you do super amazing in Casper. Thanks guys! Any idea how I can best prep for Casper? Is it even possible to do super amazing given that I'm not naturally good at those things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaybird Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Thanks guys! Any idea how I can best prep for Casper? Is it even possible to do super amazing given that I'm not naturally good at those things? First step is to stop thinking you aren't naturally good at those things.

Jaybird Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 you're right Any success with the companies offering Casper practice tests? Didn't bother doing them. One exercise I liked in debate club was this: Someone gives you a noun (chair, for example). Talk a minute about that thing. A second thing. Talk another minute about both the things. A third thing. You have one minute to wrap up your talk about how all three of these things are related. It's a great way of making you think and talk fast.

Aetherus Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Read doing right and answer the best you can! You honestly do not have time to think things through, Casper is testing the first thing that pops into your head! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dassy Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Have examples prepped for all the personal questions! I had many cue cards sitting next to me that I could easily grab with answers to typical questions or ethical issues - in case I panicked and couldn't remember anything!

I put sticky notes in Doing Right thinking I would have time to jump to certain parts to help me out. I didn't even open my Doing Right book.

I didn't even open my Doing Right book. I actually did end up using it the second time I did CASPER. There was one or two questions that were exactly the same.

Aetherus Posted October 14, 2014 Report Share Posted October 14, 2014 What are some of the personal questions that come up? ^This is confidential, we are not allowed to disclose. However, I can say that it is probably good idea to look over standard interview questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruhh Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 What are some of the personal questions that come up? It's only confidential if you disclose actual interview questions that you yourself (or someone else) were asked in an interview. personal questions, are simply, personal. They may ask you to tell them a little about yourself. Or how you deal with stress, or how did you dealt with the last major distressing situation you encountered? Do you prefer to work in groups or alone? I'm guessing they may ask questions regarding your personality to figure out what kind of a person you are(?) I've never had an interview so my knowledge comes from mere research of the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
