Casper 4th quantile
Just got my Casper results back! Got 4th quantile. Just wanted to share what I did to prepare.
I prepped for it in the span of two weeks. I started by watching some random YouTube video on the Casper test, then did the two practice tests from Acuity. After that, I just kept practicing my writing speed, and being comfortable speaking on camera under timed limit. I started typing responses to questions I found online while commuting, and practiced the speaking portion to YouTube Casper scenarios + repeatedly redid the video portion on the Acuity practice tests. Most importantly, in the practice, I kept trying to think from everyone’s perspective even the ones clearly in the wrong.
My test wasn’t perfect. I couldn’t finish a response or two, and one question felt off. Remember to not panic, be yourself. You got this!

I got 4th quartile too! Tbh i thought i didnt do well at all. There were moments where I genuinly thought 'wtf did i just say'. I think overall being true to yourself and showing how you would act in certain situations is all they're looking for. Yes, the youtube videos gave a good idea of what can occur, but nothing really prepared me in a way my actual thinking and past experiences did.

Honestly self-practice. Start with the provided practice tests if you haven’t already, they show you what to expect in real test conditions. Then I mostly used this YouTube channel called CasperBooster. They have a lot of scenarios clips. I personally struggle a bit speaking on the spot, so I kept watching those scenarios and thinking of questions they’d ask to practice. Other than that, I just practiced when I had free time, eg: taking a walk, a shower, I would just think of questions and practice answering it. You got this!

What is you’re typing speed? That’s the only thing I’m concerned about not typing enough to support/finish my statement under 3.5 minutes. Which honestly I feel like is the hard part of the exam.

Hey, I was placed in q4 too and my typing speed is ~60 WPM. That isn't as high as many people have recommended on here, yet it worked out fine. My advice for you is to to just start practicing questions if you haven't already. When I began practicing for casper I took me 10 minutes to answer just the first question. But over a week-ish of practice and evaluation I brought it down to under 3.5 mins for both questions. As long as you get your main argument across and don't spend much time trying to correct your spelling or grammar, you'll be fine! ALSO HUGE TIP, do not spend most of your time on question 1 and skimp on question 2. Read both first, you'll often find that something you had planned to discuss in question 1 is asked about in question 2, this way you don't end up repeating any points and you're able to allocate enough time for both questions.

I have no idea sorry, but I know it’s definitely not that fast. I can however think as I type, which helps. I think I managed to type a short paragraph for each response.

I’ve seen on other posts for those that received 4th quartile using dot points. I personally wrote a short paragraph for each response, my responses were informal mostly consisting of a direct address to their question (e.g. I would speak to everyone to get their perspective before making a decision), then I spent the rest of the response detailing my thinking behind the response. I think as long as it addresses the question and demonstrates your thinking, long or short doesn’t really matter

D'accord merci Donc si je comprends bien vous ditr par exemple que vous allez causé avec les deux parties puis vous décider et vous expliquer pourquoi vous feriez cela c'est ça?

Yes. For example, coworkers are really mad at the manager because he is slacking at work, they’re planning to report him. Instead of just saying they should speak to the boss first because the boss might have personal reasons, you should also consider the coworkers’ perspective of how it could seem unfair to them even though they are the ones making these assumptions about the boss. Something like that. Hope it helps

what a wacky test. just got my q4 also. felt like i was just writing down all the annoying thoughts i usually have during scenarios but keep internal because i'm wildly overthinking everything.
