SAID, LET’S GET STARTED! TOP TEN TIPS TO ACE CASPER
>>1. LEARN THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE TEST AT ITS CORE THE CASPER TEST IS AN ONLINE SITUATIONAL
JUDGMENT TEST CLAIMED TO EVALUATE AN APPLICANT’S QUALITATIVE OR “SOFT” SKILLS... SUCH AS
PROFESSIONALISM, MATURITY, AND COMMUNICATION... OFTEN, CASPER IS USED AS AN ADDITIONAL STEP
BETWEEN APPLICATION AND LATER IN-PERSON INTERVIEWS, ALLOWING THE ADMISSIONS COMMITTEE TO DETERMINE
A CANDIDATE’S LIKELY SUITABILITY... AS MANY SCHOOLS AND PROGRAMS NOW ENGAGE IN “HOLISTIC
REVIEW” THAT ENCOMPASSES A CANDIDATE’S PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, AND SCHOLASTIC COMPETENCIES,
EVALUATIONS LIKE THE CASPER TEST ARE INTENDED TO ALLOW STUDENTS TO PROVIDE CRUCIAL INSIGHTS
INTO THEIR OWN PRIORITIES AND VALUES SO THAT THESE CAN BE CONSIDERED ALONGSIDE THEIR ACADEMIC
ACHIEVEMENTS... CASPER HAS BEEN SHOWN TO COUNT FOR UP TO A THIRD OF AN APPLICANT'S PRE-INTERVIEW
SCORE, MEANING THAT EFFECTIVE CASPER TEST PREP IS ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL FOR PERFORMING
WELL AND GETTING AN INTERVIEW... IN TAKING THE CASPER TEST, YOU WILL BE PRESENTED
WITH 12 PROMPTS AND YOU WILL HAVE TO RESPOND TO A SET OF THREE QUESTIONS RELATED TO EACH
PROMPT... THE PROMPTS ARE PRESENTED IN EITHER VIDEO OR TEXT FORMAT, AND CAN BE BASED ON
PROFESSIONAL ETHICS, REAL-LIFE SITUATIONS OR HOT TOPICS IN YOUR FIELD JUST TO NAME A
FEW THEMES… THE ASSOCIATED QUESTIONS THAT YOU’LL FACE IN THE CASPER TEST OFFER YOU
THE OPPORTUNITY TO DEMONSTRATE KEY QUALITIES THAT MEDICAL SCHOOLS ARE LOOKING FOR AS A
FUTURE PROFESSIONAL IN YOUR DISCIPLINE. >>2. READ UP ON HEADLINES, ETHICS AND SELF-REFLECTION
INITIALLY YOU CAN START YOUR CASPER PREP BY READING NEWS ARTICLES SO YOU ARE UP-TO-DATE
WITH CURRENT EVENTS... YOU CAN ALSO BEGIN REVIEWING ETHICS. AND, OF COURSE, SINCE CASPER
IS A TEST OF YOUR PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS, SPEND SOME TIME REFLECTING ON YOUR OWN PAST
EXPERIENCES AND HOW THEY HAVE HELPED YOU DEVELOP YOUR PROBLEM-SOLVING, CONFLICTING RESOLUTION,
OR COLLABORATION SKILLS... >>3. UNDERSTAND THE TIMING
THE CASPER TEST IS LIKE AN MMI, BUT WITHOUT BEING GIVEN THE TIME TO PREPARE YOUR RESPONSE
AND HAVING LESS TIME TO STATE YOUR ANSWER... YOU WILL HAVE 5 MINUTES TO TYPE ANSWERS FOR
THE THREE QUESTIONS PRESENTED IN EACH STATION. IT ALSO TAKES MORE TIME TO RESPOND IN WRITING,
RATHER THAN VERBALLY. FOR THIS REASON, MOST APPLICANTS FIND PROVIDING WHAT THEY THINK
IS ENOUGH OF A RESPONSE TO BE EXTREMELY STRESSFUL… IF YOU CAN FOCUS ON THE QUALITY, NOT QUANTITY,
OF YOUR RESPONSE THEN YOU WILL ALREADY HAVE AN ADVANTAGE TO SUBMITTING YOUR ANSWERS IN
A TIME CRUNCH... >>4. LEARN HOW THE CASPER TEST IS REALLY EVALUATED
YOU MIGHT HEAR THAT THERE ARE NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWERS ON A CASPER TEST… CASPER RATERS
DON’T HAVE AN ANSWER KEY, SO THERE IS TECHNICALLY NO SINGLE “RIGHT” ANSWER... WHAT YOU NEED
TO KNOW IS THAT RESPONSES ARE ANALYZED TO SEE IF THEY REFLECT THE QUALITIES OF A GOOD,
MORAL PROFESSIONAL... AND IF THEY COME ACROSS AS UNPROFESSIONAL IT CAN RESULT IN A RED FLAG
FOR AN ENTIRE TEST. >>5. GIVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TIME
BE SURE TO SET ASIDE THE NECESSARY AMOUNT OF TIME TO STUDY FOR YOUR CASPER TEST… IN
OUR EXPERIENCE, OUR MOST SUCCESSFUL STUDENTS NEED 6 TO 8 WEEKS TO PREPARE FOR CASPER. BUT
WE HAVE HAD STUDENTS WHO NEED UP TO 12 WEEKS AND SOME WHO GET READY IN JUST 1 TO 2 WEEKS…
REMEMBER THIS IS PERSONALIZED AND ALL OF OUR CASPER TEST PREP PROGRAMS ARE TAILORED TO
YOUR LEVEL OF PREPARATION AT BASELINE... MORE IMPORTANTLY, THEY HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO IMPROVE
APPLICANTS' PRACTICE SCORES BY UP TO 23 PERCENT! >>6. BE YOUR BEST SELF
YOU NEED TO AVOID JUST "BEING YOURSELF"... NOW, YOU MIGHT BE THINKING THAT'S AN UNUSUAL
THING TO SAY, BUT THE REASON YOU SHOULD AVOID BEING YOURSELF IS BECAUSE BEING YOURSELF IS
BEING YOUR **CURRENT SELF INSTEAD OF YOUR **BEST SELF... BEING YOURSELF IMPLIES THAT
YOU WILL REMAIN THE SAME AND THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO GROW, IMPROVE YOURSELF, LEARN NEW
SKILLS, AND MAKE CHANGES... ONE PERSON'S CURRENT SELF MAY NOT BE ABLE TO RUN 800 METERS, BUT
THROUGH TRAINING AND PREPARATION, THEIR BEST SELF COULD RUN A HALF MARATHON. REMEMBER,
YOUR BEST SELF IS ALWAYS CHANGING AND ALWAYS EVOLVING. YOUR BEST SELF YESTERDAY MAY NOT
BE YOUR BEST SELF TOMORROW. LET'S GO BACK TO THAT PERSON WHO CAN NOW RUN A HALF MARATHON,
PERHAPS THEIR NEXT GOAL IS TO RUN A FULL MARATHON. THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SELF-IMPROVEMENT AND GROWTH
WILL ALWAYS EXIST, BUT WILL YOU TAKE IT? IF YOU CONTINUE TO "JUST BE YOURSELF" YOU WILL
NEVER IMPROVE! >>7. REVIEW PRACTICE QUESTIONS AND EXPERT
RESPONSES REVIEWING PRACTICE QUESTIONS AND EXPERT RESPONSES
WILL HELP YOU INTERNALIZE THE WORKINGS OF STRONG, EFFECTIVE RESPONSES… THE POINT IS
NOT TO MEMORIZE CONTENT IN REVIEWING SUCH QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS... THE POINT IS TO DEVELOP
A PARTICULAR SET OF TOOLS FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS IN A WAY THAT IS REFLECTIVE OF YOU AND YOUR
OWN EXPERIENCES... >>8. PRACTICE WITH REALISTIC SIMULATIONS
WHILE YOU’LL WANT TO SPEND SOME TIME FAMILIARIZING YOURSELF WITH QUESTION AND ANSWER TYPES, YOU’LL
NEED TO MOVE FROM THAT TO REALISTIC SIMULATIONS THAT ARE TIMED... AND YOU’LL NEED BOTH VIDEO
AND TEXT STATION FORMATS TO REALLY BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE CASPER TEST… THE FAMILIARITY
WILL HELP YOU TO KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT, FEELING COMFORTABLE IN THE TEST ENVIRONMENT, AND MITIGATE
NERVES, STRESS, AND ANXIETY... >>9. DEVELOP ANSWER STRATEGIES
A BIG KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL CASPER PREP IS HAVING ANSWER STRATEGIES FOR EACH OF THE CASPER QUESTION
TYPES. YOU MUST DESIGN AN APPROACH TO TACKLE ANY QUESTION CATEGORY YOU MAY FACE, OF WHICH
THERE ARE THREE: SITUATIONAL OR SCENARIO QUESTIONS: WHEN YOU’RE
FACED WITH A CASPER SCENARIO FOLLOW-UP QUESTION, IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE AND
WHAT KIND OF ISSUE YOU’RE BEING PRESENTED WITH SUCH AS AN ETHICAL DILEMMA, PROFESSIONAL
BOUNDARIES OR CONFLICT RESOLUTION... MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU MUST IDENTIFY THE MOST VULNERABLE
PARTY IN THE SITUATION OR THE MAIN ISSUE OF THE SCENARIO. ONCE YOU IDENTIFY THE ISSUE,
YOU MUST OUTLINE PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS TO RESOLVE THE SITUATION...
POLICY QUESTIONS: TO PREPARE FOR QUESTIONS IN THE POLICY CATEGORY YOU SHOULD RESEARCH
CURRENT EVENTS, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL ISSUES, AND CHALLENGES FACING THE PROFESSION YOU ARE
TRYING TO JOIN... PERSONAL QUESTIONS: PERSONAL QUESTIONS ARE
MEANT TO ASSESS HOW YOU REACT IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS. THE QUESTION MAY DEAL WITH PROFESSIONAL BOUNDARIES,
ETHICAL/MORAL DILEMMAS, CONFLICT RESOLUTIONS, AND OTHER ISSUES. YOUR ANSWER SHOULD DEMONSTRATE
TO THE EVALUATOR THAT YOU KNOW HOW TO HANDLE YOURSELF IN A SITUATION...
>>10. GET EXPERT, ONE-ON-ONE FEEDBACK MENTORSHIP, COACHING, AND INVESTED, FORMATIVE
FEEDBACK ARE CRUCIAL IN DEVELOPING EXPERTISE… IF WE’RE NOT CONSULTING WITH PROFESSIONALS
WHO CAN GIVE US AN OBJECTIVE EVALUATION OF OUR WORK THEN WE’RE LIKELY TO NOT REACH
OUR FULL POTENTIAL… AT BEMO, OUR CASPER TEST PREP FEEDBACK SESSIONS SHOW YOU HOW TO
PREPARE FOR CASPER, BY ALLOWING OUR EXPERTS TO REVIEW YOUR ANSWERS, HIGHLIGHT EXACTLY
