Below are guides on how to approach each question type. It's important to know that CASPer has evolved, and some question formats appearing in this year's test may be less familiar - even if you've practiced before. Use these walkthroughs to help you understand how to appraoch each type on test day. If you'd like more in depth information like this, considering taking my course. Details are on the pricing page.
A worked example using a standard CASPer scenario — two questions, two different question types. Watch a strong situational response and a strong past reflective response, with a breakdown of what makes each one score well.
These guides cover question formats that have become more prominent in recent test cycles — less straightforward than standard scenarios, and worth understanding before test day.
Some CASPer questions don't ask you to recall a past experience — instead, they ask you to imagine how you'd feel or what would be most challenging for you personally. Phrases like "based on your personality, how would you feel..." or "what aspect of this situation would be most challenging for you personally?" signal this type. This guide explains what makes these questions different and how to respond in a way that earns marks.
CASPer scenarios often include a second question that introduces new information and shifts the focus. These typically start with "Imagine..." or "Suppose..." and ask "how, if at all, would this change your response?" — moving from a situational first question into a judgment-style analysis. This guide walks you through how to recognize the shift and structure your answer accordingly.
