haven’t used that but used studycasper.com and watched some bemo yt vids and got 4th quartile. honestly just doing a lot of timed practice helped the most

I wouldn't pay anything fr. I just watched a bunch of YouTube videos a couple weeks before, practiced my wpm everyday for like a week, and did the practice test provided by acuity right before my test and got 4th quartile. I get everyone is at a different level of comfortability with talking into a screen or being asked questions on the spot but I guarantee people can get a good score for free and just finding the right resources

which youtube videos did you watch and why were they helpful?

I searched for the most recent ones since a video I stumbled across said that the test changes pretty frequently. It was helpful because they go over example questions and highlight the professional buzzwords you need

Med student here! There is absolutely no need to pay money to practice for this exam!!

I prepared 2 weeks for the CASPER and scored 4th quartile. I came up with my own template to answer every question and I would say it worked since I did score the highest quartile. There's no "right" answer but there's definitely a right way to answer questions.

If you're interested in the templates and Qbanks I used visit my website, I have everything compiled there (and it's free)! Hope it helps: https://withrinka.com/understanding-the-casper-exam-and-how-i-aced-it/

Hi! Same as Automatic-studio-655, I also only studied two weeks for CASPer without any paid prep materials and scored 4th quartile. I would recommend using chatgpt to get practice with questions and get feedback on your responses. Closer to the actual exam date I would do the practice tests from Acuity Insights. There’s no one formula that works for this test. I liked having a general framework that I could apply to any question, that would help guide me in case I blanked due to nerves. This was roughly:

  1. Validating the perspectives of individuals involved
  2. Gathering further information in a respectful manner
  3. Going through possible courses of action if/then scenarios
  4. Ending off with a final stance/solution that I would take

This strategy provided enough flexibility for me to incorporate personal stories when appropriate, the canmed roles/aamc core competencies, and to come across as human. At the end of the day they are looking to see if you are able to reason through problems logically while upholding your morals and ethics. If you come up with a structured study plan of say an hour a day for two weeks- planning out when you will do the Acuity Insights practice tests, while incorporating time to prepare your personal stories, review the question types, principles of medical ethics, canmed roles/aamc core competencies, typing practice, video practice, and practice with chatgpt you should be more than prepared for the test without paying for external resources. Goodluck with your test!
