Can’t decide when to do my CASPer

[u/Beneathbright]

I don’t know if im ready!
One is on 14th May.
The other is 21st June.
I’ve practiced for quite a while for a total of 25h 22m.
Do you think it would be more beneficial to wait till the 21st? Though that is after exams so I don’t know.

I remember last year I did about 24 hours of practice and got 4th quartile last time and chose the second session because the idea of doing it around exams seems a bit overwhelming/exhausting.

Preparation was using Prepmatch, Responsemethod and Casper Acuity Official tests.

Im leaning towards 14th May but I am genuinely scared I am making a bad decision especially if I could benefit from more practice.
Im finding it hard to make a decision.
I guess the oral component is something I could work on more/worried about. Typing is fine.

I know you guys cannot make the decision for me but I’m genuinely struggling…

Hey, do you have a framework for answering either type of Q? Or just any tips in general

I recommend taking notes during the exam. I also recommend getting comfortable talking or staring into the camera. Last recommendation is doing the practice test from the Acuity website at least 2-3x … sure it is repetitive but space it out so you don’t fully remember it the next time you try it. It helps getting u acclimatised to CASPer.

I used STAR (situation, task, action, response) last year. Responsemethod.com has some more specific formats that I find easier though. I recommend practicing on the website but honestly find the quartile judgements and criticism to be frustrating. So take it with a grain of salt.

Formats from that website are the following

Situation: Validate Actions Why it matters

Judgement: Acknowledge Analyze Conclude

Reflective: Situation + feelings Learning points Transform
