I don't think it matters tbh. Casper says that grammar and punctuation isn't tested, just the content of your answer.

If you have to ask, just don't do it. Be an ethical person. Because that's kind of what CASPer is trying to measure.

Exactly.

Edit: OP, grammar and spelling don't matter. The content of your answers is all they grade. Don't waste your time.

Okay, thanks for lmk! I saw these tips on a CASPer practice video while trying to "study" for this test, so I wanted to check.

Don't study. It's a waste of time. If you want to do anything, take a quick online typing test to see how fast you type. You want to aim for three or four sentences per question, so if you know your WPM is low, you can practice typing a little. That's the full extent of studying I would do.

I also recommend a typing test if you don't know your WPM, but also the two free practice CASPer tests just to get a feel for what you're gonna get into.

Yes, I have taken several typing tests and practiced. My WPM ranges from 76-90 WPM on these tests. Would that be good enough?

I know a lot of people say not to study, but it's so hard to type within 5 minutes 🙁 I've just been trying to practice that with different websites and videos. I ran out of time on the actual practice simulation, so I'm trying to figure out an efficient way to organize my thoughts quickly and type fast and coherently tmrw.

I thought there was only one free test??

If you have a set of guidelines in your head before hand, it takes a lot of the thought out of it. You never break the rules or the law. You never don't report when you catch someone breaking the law or the rules. Empathize with everyone in the scenario, but always choose the side that is in the right legally or administratively. If someone is not pulling their weight in a group, show concern for what might be going on at home.

Like literally, every scenario will be some formulation of the above. All you have to do is apply the specifics of the scenario to that outline.

It's not unethical if it's allowed. OP is asking if it's permitted so that they can act ethically. Wanting to have every (ethical) advantage is just being smart. Honestly the fact that they asked at all is proof enough that they intend to act ethically.

Not being prohibited is not the same as being ethically permissible. That's where ethics comes in. Just because you're not expressly prohibited from drawing diagrams on your wall behind the computer before you take CASPer doesn't mean that it's ethical to do so.

It's the same format between the two (two video scenarios, one asking for your own scenario), but the prompts and scenarios are different.

While I agree with the rest of your post, this doesn't make sense. If something is not prohibited, it is allowed. Being allowed =!= being ethical.

I meant "allowed" in the sense of "ethically allowed." I've edited above to reflect this. Thanks for pointing it out.
 
This test does not warrant all the attention it's getting. Just be a goody goody on the test... you ONLY need like a sentence or two to tell them you'll never break any rule and will always tell on people who do, in a supportive compassionate way of course :cigar:
 
In all honesty, CASPer is probably only used to weed out people. And assuming you answer similarly to how people on this thread have been suggesting, you will be FINE. RELAX.

Lol the test just gets boring after the first few scenarios. You essentially just start repeating the same answer template over and over again and you always "stick to the party line."

Where can I find these tests? There is only one I see on the actual CASPer website. Both prompts/scenarios for those tests are the exact same

*watches scenario*

While I can understand why Jim feels misunderstood by the company, I inform him that this in no way is justification for stealing 2.2 million from clients. I kindly let him know that I am going to turn him in to the Feds immediately, but that I'm also willing to listen if he ever feels like he needs to talk things through again.

Lol yeah you're right, I overthought it a bit and became anxious. I just took the test and it wasn't too bad. However, I made SO MANY spelling mistakes and rushed a lot towards the end. 5 minutes is too little and I wish my typing speed was 100+. I'm glad I practiced beforehand; I think studying a little helped me. Also, I disabled the Grammarly chrome extension beforehand but for some reason it still showed up on my test 🤔 I think it might be because the app was still in my applications folder offline, but I'm not sure what happened. I hope this doesn't affect my score or come under fraudulent activity. I think another poster also used Grammarly and did fine with his apps, so I'm hoping it is okay. In any case, the app didn't really help me lol Oh well, at least I tried my best!

You’ll be fine. And spelling doesn’t count.
