Reastat Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 I'm currently at Mac for undergrad and I overhead that Mac Med was increasing the weighting of CASPer this year to 40%. If true, this would mean that CASPer is worth more than CARS or your GPA. It's still listed on their website as 32%. Does anyone know if the rumors are true?

PurpleS Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Don't believe rumours until they are officially confirmed by admissions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reastat Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I just did CASPer tonight and now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the rumors are true ... lol ! Some of the questions on my actual test were basically the same as the questions I had on my full length practice tests. There definitely weren't any surprises!

Any changes to admission criteria is usually posted in advance of the upcoming cycle but I suppose nothing is impossible. That's good news about your test though, keep up the positive attitude and things will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reastat Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 If I remember correctly, they've previously implemented interview changes mid cycle so this is possible. One can hope that CASPer is weighted 40%! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruh Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 UofA still hasn't fully revised their requirements for this cycle. It's definitely possible for schools to revise their requirements mid-cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I'm looking to do my CASPER test later on in October. Can you give me an idea of what practice tests you used (i.e. from which companies, free ones online (from where?), etc)!

Reastat Posted September 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2017 I did the following free practice tests from the thread below on SDN and then several practice full length CASPer tests which was a must for me. https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/timed-casper-practice-resources.1264808/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
