01

Fresh questions every time

You won't see the same scenario twice. Every paid sitting is generated fresh, so you're building actual judgment — not just recognising prompts.

02

Real time pressure

The hard part of CASPER isn't knowing the right principle. It's writing something calm and clear before you run out of time.

03

Feedback you can use

You'll see exactly where an answer sounded vague, too safe, or not specific enough — so you know what to fix next time.

From applicants

I kept running out of time mid-answer and had no idea if what I wrote was any good. The feedback showed me exactly where I was going vague — which turned out to be every single time.

Priya S.

Medicine, UBC

My answers sounded fine in my head but the scores were lower than I expected. Seeing specific phrases flagged as too generic changed how I wrote completely.

James K.

Physician Assistant, McMaster

I had no way to tell if I was actually improving between sessions. Having the history to compare meant I could see what was getting better — and what kept coming up.

What a scenario looks like

See the format before you start.

Every station gives you a short situation and two or three questions. You type your responses under time pressure. The free sample uses this exact scenario — same for everyone.

Free sample scenario5 min · Communication

Situation

You are part of a student project team. Your group is preparing a presentation tomorrow. One member has contributed very little, and another teammate wants to call them out publicly during the meeting so the rest of the group is not blamed for the weak work.

Question 1

What would you say to your teammates before the presentation to handle this fairly?

Question 2

If the under-contributing teammate tells you they have been dealing with a serious family issue, how would that change your response?

Scenario

Your group is preparing a presentation tomorrow. One member has contributed very little, and a teammate wants to call them out publicly during the meeting so the rest of the group isn't blamed.

Question 1

What would you say to your teammates before the presentation to handle this fairly?

Before the presentation I'd speak to each person separately. I'd acknowledge to the teammate calling it out that their frustration is valid, but suggest we focus on making the presentation go well rather than escalating things now. I'd also check in briefly with the under-contributing member to understand if something is going on...

AI Summary

A considered response that holds both teammates' positions fairly without immediately taking sides. Shows good awareness of group dynamics. Could go further in specifying what to actually say to each person rather than describing the general approach.

Strengths

Addresses both parties before choosing a side — avoids the trap of immediately assigning blame.

Checks in with the under-contributing member rather than assuming bad intent.

Improve next sitting

The response describes what you'd do but stops short of showing the actual words — write out what you'd say.

Consider acknowledging the teammate's frustration more explicitly before redirecting them.

What CASPER is

You get awkward situations, a few short questions, and not much time to write a decent answer.

That's why so many people finish a practice question feeling worse than they expected. You usually know the kind of person you want to sound like. Getting that onto the page in five minutes is the actual challenge.

01

You're not being tested on medical knowledge. You're being tested on how you handle people problems under pressure.

02

The strongest answers usually sit with the ambiguity rather than pretending there's one right thing to do.

03

A calm, fair, practical response will always read better than a dramatic or overconfident one.

What they look for

Strong answers sound thoughtful, fair, and realistic — not perfect.

People usually go wrong in one of two directions: too vague to be useful, or too forceful to sound mature. Better answers sit in the middle — showing empathy, decent judgment, and a next step that actually feels believable.

01

You notice everyone in the room

Stronger answers hold multiple perspectives at once instead of immediately taking one side. Show you can see the situation from more than your own angle.

02

You show what you'd actually say

Saying you'd be respectful isn't enough. You need to write what that actually sounds like in a real conversation — specific words, not intentions.

03

You pick a next step that makes sense

Good answers sound practical. They don't jump to extremes, and they don't pretend every messy situation has a clean fix.

04

You stay measured throughout

The better response usually balances empathy, fairness, and common sense — without sounding like you memorised a rubric.

Why this helps

This is for people who want more than a PDF and a vague marking rubric.

The goal isn't to do one practice test and feel slightly less anxious. It's to practise repeatedly, get targeted feedback, and tighten up the specific things that keep costing you marks.

01

You stop guessing what a good answer looks like

Most people know roughly what they want to say, but under time pressure it comes out flat, generic, or all over the place. This helps you spot that pattern before the real test.

02

You practise with fresh scenarios instead of memorising

If you keep seeing the same prompts, you stop building judgment and start recognising answers. That won't help when the real test feels unfamiliar.

03

You get feedback on the part that usually goes wrong

Weak answers tend to sound too black-and-white, too vague, or too abstract. The feedback shows you exactly where that happened so you're not left guessing.

04

You can see if you're actually improving

Your past sittings stay in your account so you can compare attempts and see whether the same weaknesses keep coming up.

Common questions

What you probably want to know.

Is this an official CASPER resource?+

No. This is an independent prep tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or created by Acuity Insights, who administer the official CASPER test.

How is the feedback generated?+

Your written responses are scored by an AI model using the same dimensions CASPER evaluators focus on: perspective-taking, communication clarity, and practical judgment. The feedback highlights specific strengths and weaknesses in your answer.

Can I redo the free sample?+

No. Each account gets one free scored sample. After that, a monthly subscription gives you fresh AI-generated scenarios for every sitting.

Is my practice history saved?+

Yes. All attempts, scores, and written answers are saved to your account. You can review any past sitting from the history page.

How does payment work?+

The paid plan is a monthly subscription managed through Stripe. You can cancel at any time via the billing portal in your account settings. Nothing is charged until after the free sample.

What counts as one sitting?+

A sitting is one timed session with a scenario. Paid sittings use AI-generated questions that are different every time.

What is the hourly cap?+

The hourly cap limits how many sittings you can start within a single hour. It's designed to prevent back-to-back rushed sessions — the kind that don't actually build skill. In normal daily practice you're very unlikely to hit it. Most applicants do one or two sittings in a session, review their feedback, and come back the next day.
