CASPer Test Questions and Answers 100% PassDescribe a past situation in which your ethics were challenged. CORRECT ANS-A few years
ago I was taking a test at our testing center at BYU. I noticed that a guy next to me had notes
(which he was pretending was scratch paper). I was nervous to say something in case I was
wrong...maybe it was just scratch paper. I felt that it was my responsibility to say something
to someone so I told the supervisor at the testing center. Though I don't know what
happened, I felt good knowing that I did what I believed was right, even though it was
difficult.
Describe a time when you used teamwork to solve a problem. CORRECT ANS-In my
advanced anatomy class, we did medical case studies every few weeks. We were divided into
groups, and given background information and medical history. As a group we had to figure
out the diagnosis of the patient. At first, we really struggled with this, always running out of
time before we could figure out what was wrong. However, as we learned to work as a team
we got significantly better. We would create a google doc, divide out what each person was
going to research, take turns discussing what we found out, and would go from there. Each
person had a job, and we were all contributing, and we were able to figure out the diagnosis
so much faster.

Have you ever been at odds with a coworker? How did you handle this? CORRECT ANS-Yes.
When I was working as a physical therapy technician, I worked with my coworker Ryan who
wasn't participating and contributing much to our team.
I decided to talk to him about it, and just suggest that we switch off tasks because I was taking
on all of the tasks that he hadn't been doing. He ended up taking it really well and was really
nice about it. I'm glad I addressed the problem with him directly to come up with a solution.
Describe a disappointment from your life. CORRECT ANS-When I left to serve a proselyting
mission for my church in Chile, it was expected that I serve for 18 months. I deferred from
school, and said goodbye to friends/family. When I got sick, and was told that I needed to go
home and recover, I was extremely disappointed that I wasn't able to finish.
Even though my mission didn't go as planned, it fundamentally altered what I wanted to do
with the rest of my life. I was blessed to be treated by such great health care workers, which
eventually led me to the physician assistant career. I found that if I had never gotten sick on
my mission, I might not have found what I wanted to do so I'm grateful for that
disappointment. I believe that this disappointment, will also make me a great PA. I
understand what it is like to not be in good health, and to have doctors who understand and
treat you with respect. I want to recripcate that with my future patients.

Describe one time when your boss had to confront you about an issue with your work.
CORRECT ANS-I currently work as a physical therapy technician. About a month into the
job while I was working my boss told me that I was doing ultrasounds wrong, and was moving
the probe too fast. Though I felt a little embarrassed, I asked if I could watch him do it the
next time a patient came in so I could see the correct way to do it. He agreed, and I was able
to do it correctly from then on out. He explained why the probe needed to move slower, and I
was able to learn from it.
What is the greatest challenge you have ever faced and what did you do to overcome it?
CORRECT ANS-The greatest challenge I ever faced was when my dad was diagnosed with
autoimmune hepatisis about a year ago. I'm extremely close with my dad, and I've seen him
fight cancer and go through other health problems. The hardest part about this was being far
away, and not knowing what was going on. As well, as feeling like there was no way to help
because he was so far away. To overcome this, I decided that the only thing I could do was to
learn as much as I could about it. I couldn't change his diagnosis, but I could learn about it so I
could understand what was going on.
What quality or personality trait is most important in the PA profession? CORRECT ANS-I
believe that you should look for candidates that are empathetic. While good grades and gpa
are important, I think it is even more important to look for individuals who can understand

patients and what they are going through. To be able to get down on their level, and put
themselves in their shoes. Though we might not have gone through exactly what they are
going through, we have all felt disappointed or scared (or whatever they are feeling), and
apply that to the situation. I believe that great health care stems from empathy.
Do you get frustrated or angry? CORRECT ANS-Anger to me means loss of control. I do not
lose control. When I get stressed, I step back, take a deep breath, thoughtfully think through
the situation and then begin to formulate a plan of action. For instance, when I am given
multiple projects to complete in a short amount of time, rather than feeling frustrated, I come
up with a strategy for how to complete the work in a steady, methodical manner that will not
overwhelm me.
Tell me about a time that you made a mistake at work? CORRECT ANS-When I first started
my physical therapy technician job, I once had a new patient call in to schedule an
appointment. I was frazzled with other patients and forgot to ask which insurance they had.
When they came in, I had to be the one to tell them that we didn't take their insurance and
apologized profusely. Thankfully, we did offer a competitive self pay rate, which she ended up
doing and had a good experience at our clinic despite my mistake. Since then, I learned to be
extremely careful about focusing on one task at a time.
