CASPer TEST Exam Questions and
Answers 100% Solved
Describe a disappointment from your life. - ✔✔I once applied for a
veterinary technician position at a veterinary emergency hospital. However,
after a month had passed with no response, I sent a follow-up email to
inquire about my initial email. After another two weeks, I showed up to the
clinic in person to deliver my resume, but again I received no response. I
was disappointed that I did not receive even a rejection notification,
however, I took this as a learning experience to better myself so that I can
be a more competitive applicant in the future.
Briefly describe a time when you hesitated or chose not to help someone.
What were the reasons behind your dilemma? - ✔✔As a veterinary
technician, I am still working during the pandemic. One time, I was picking
up a pet from the owner outside our clinic. When I received the pet's leash,
I was in the middle of explaining the exam procedure when the elderly
owner dropped his phone. My initial instinct was to bend down and help the

owner retrieve his phone; however, in light of COVID-19, I hesitated and
chose not to help in order to limit contact to potentially contaminated
surfaces. Although this decision felt unnatural, I believe I made the right
decision to protect the team of healthcare professionals I work with, and
this will in turn protect our clients.
Describe a time when you had to sacrifice something. - ✔✔I spent most of
college looking for my passion. When I finally discovered my passion for
veterinary medicine, I was in my second semester of my junior year. In
order to prepare for vet school applications, I needed to gather experience.
I volunteered many weekends at vaccine clinics, and gradually spent more
and more time outside of my apartment, and away from my friends. I
sacrificed my time that could have been spent with my friends having fun,
but ultimately I do not regret this decision as I was able to grow from the
experience and get closer to my dream.
Describe one time when your boss had to confront you about an issue with
your work. - ✔✔When I first started as a veterinary technician, I was still
learning what questions to ask in order to obtain a brief history to report to
the doctor. My boss confronted me because I took too long to obtain
history. Afterwards, I asked to see how the other technicians were taking

history, and I learned about what questions to ask, and how to document
the answers succinctly.

Describe a time when you used teamwork to solve a problem. - ✔✔When I
was volunteering at a free vaccine clinic, there was a particularly fractious
dog that would attempt to bite any person that got too close. To solve this
problem, we had one technician restraining the animal, one technician on
standby ready to jump in if anything happened, and the owners were
present to distract the dog with compliments and treats, while I was
administering the vaccine.
Have you ever been at odds with a coworker? How did you handle this? -
✔✔Yes. When I was filling medication for a patient, I used a rubberband to
tie together the drug formulary to the pill container. My coworker angrily
confronted me because she was upset that I wrapped the rubber band
around the container too many times. While I understood that this was an
inconvenience for her, I was not happy with the tone she used. I explained
that I recognized her concern and agreed with her, and that next time I
would not wrap the rubberband so many times. However, I also asked her

to speak in a more professional and kindly manner, after which she calmed
down and the issue was resolved.
What is the greatest challenge you have ever faced and what did you do to
overcome it? - ✔✔The greatest challenge I ever faced was when my family
was against me pursuing vet school. My family believed that doctors for
animals were "less" than doctors for humans, even though they knew that I
was passionate about animal care. In the end, I realized that I would be the
one working
What quality or personality trait is most important in the veterinary
profession? - ✔✔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? - ✔✔Frustration and anger are natural
emotions that every individual experiences. However, the way people
