Super Nova Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Does anyone have any idea how easy CASPer is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalDoseOfSmile Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I wrote the CASPER yesterday and it was not too difficult. Except, you only have 5 minutes to read the 3 questions for each station, structure your thoughts and then type the answer. I was probably typing at max speed and smashing my keyboard already and I still couldn't finish my sentences. It is very hard to analyze all the dimensions of the question given the amount of time you get per station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Nova Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 ahh, so like the DAT, it's time that makes it hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rtynb Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 I called UBC a few weeks ago and asked them regarding the test dats and the lady said i can take any of the available dates of the CASPER test for the current academic year since they understand schools like McGill wants you to do the test before their deadline, but UBC is flexible with the dats. And i specifically asked her if it's ok to take the October 15th test and she said YES. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalDoseOfSmile Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 You don't really have to study for it because it is about real life situations. If you are feeling not ok about not studying, I do recommend to read the bioethics on this website https://depts.washington.edu/bioethx/topics/index.html and try to find what are the traits and perspectives you need to be a good health practitioner. Also try the sample questions on the Official CASPER website and see how much you can actually answer in 5 minutes. This website also tells you some of the test strategies https://rwftraining.com/caspertestprep/casper-test-strategy/. Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked the help people on the CASPer website and they said the test dates are selected by the university so if they have dates after the application deadline those dates are fine because it was chosen by them. UBC didn't get back yet but I'm trusting CASPer and rescheduled for later because I didn't feel comfortable going in blind and sleep deprived lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty2222 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 Do you guys think taking the oct 25th one would be ok? I have a flight on the 15th and I don't think I will have time to reliably complete it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
