The Casper test (Computer-Based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics) is an admissions test used by many medical and health sciences programs to assess non-cognitive skills such as ethics, empathy, communication, and professionalism. It involves responding to various scenarios through typed or video responses.

We are a website that uses AI to help students become Casper-ready faster and more affordably than traditional tutoring. Our mission is to ensure that all students have access to the same opportunities for success in their career, regardless of their background.

Yes, our practice question bank is entirely free to use. You can answer every question in an interface that simulates the real Casper. Every answer gets an evaluator-style score and every attempt is ranked against your peers, and your first 2 scenario attempts are coached for free.

Our practice questions are designed to mirror the types of scenarios and questions you will encounter on the actual Casper test. While we cannot replicate the exact questions, our scenarios closely reflect the test's format and content. The one difference is that our media-based scenarios use narration with a transcript, in lieu of the real test's produced videos.

Typed and media-based scenarios across all nine Casper themes, with situational, personal and opinion questions, answered in typed or video form - the same mix as the real Casper.

Typed and video answers, on every question, free or paid. Every answer is saved and graded; your first 2 scenario attempts are coached, Basic coaches every practice question answer, and Pro also coaches inside practice tests.

Sometimes called competencies or constructs, Casper themes refer to the underlying topics and skills that the Casper test aims to evaluate. There are a total of nine themes: collaboration, communication, empathy, fairness, ethics, motivation, problem solving, resilience, and self-awareness. Understanding these themes is crucial for performing well on the test.

Every answer gets an evaluator-style score from 1 to 9, the same scale real Casper evaluators use, and every attempt is ranked against your peers. This mirrors how the real Casper is graded, so your score is as close as possible to what an evaluator would give you.

Your answer scores are averaged for the attempt and ranked against your peers' averages, in a similar way to how Casper turns evaluator scores into a percentile. That percentile is your ranking, and your quartile is which quarter of the group you land in. On a practice test the ranking covers the whole test.

There are several versions of the Casper. Your program and country decide which one you take, and your test date decides who sits it with you. On the real Casper you're ranked against everyone on your test date, so that's who we compare you with first. When not enough of them have practiced yet, we compare you with everyone taking your version of the Casper: the same cohort, taking the same test. And if that group is still too small, we move on to a representative broader group, so you always have a meaningful comparison.

Because they define your peer group. Program and country tell us which version of the Casper you take, and your test date tells us who you'll be ranked against on the real test. You can change them anytime in Settings.

Answers you've already submitted keep the ranking they had, against the peer group you had at the time. New answers are ranked against your new group. We never re-rank old answers against a different group, so your history always compares like with like.

Yes. Because we know which program and country you're applying to, we're able to find your peers. And because every answer is scored the same way, and because of the historical data we've built up, you always have a statistically viable peer group, whatever question or test you answer. When your own test date is still thin, we compare you with everyone taking your version of the Casper.

Grading is the score and ranking every answer gets. Coaching is line-by-line feedback on your answer and an improved version that applies that feedback. DIY accounts get coaching on their first two scenario attempts. Basic coaches every practice question answer. Pro coaches practice questions and practice tests.

Coaching is generated by a purpose-built AI model, developed with publicly available information about the Casper, a large dataset of responses to practice questions, and domain experts. It reads your answer line by line, notes what works and what to sharpen, cut or add, and writes an improved answer that applies those notes.

We use a purpose-built AI engine, based on proven methodology and the latest, most powerful AI models available. While it's not perfect, we're confident it's the highest-quality AI Casper coaching available.

Acuity, the company behind the Casper, published a study on how its evaluators score real responses. We reproduced that study on our own data and our grader achieves similar results, so your score is as close as possible to what a real evaluator would give you. We'll be releasing our study soon.

Yes. Grading and coaching use two different purpose-built AI models: one grades your answer the way a Casper evaluator would, and a separate one coaches it. Your answer text, and for video answers a transcript of what you said, is sent to our AI provider to be scored and coached, and the result is stored on your account. Our providers process your answers to produce the result and do not use them to train their models.

Your recording is stored privately on your account so you can watch it back. It is transcribed so it can be graded and coached. Only you can see your recordings. They are never shared with other students or shown to anyone else.

Every answer you submit is graded and ranked, free or paid. DIY accounts get two free coached scenario attempts, used in the order you submit: that could be two practice questions, the first two scenarios of a practice test, or one of each. Basic coaches every practice question answer; Pro also coaches inside practice tests.

Yes. If you're in Canada, applying to a French program and taking the French Casper, choose French in onboarding or Settings. Questions, the test experience and coaching are in French, and you're ranked against peers taking the French Casper.
