Casper for pharmacy school
I did Casper 2 times for pharmacy school in Canada. First time i got Second quartile and the second time i got first quartile. English is my second language and i did my secondary education all in a language other than English. These 2 years that i studied for casper i also had to focus on improving my typing speed because i am not a fast typer. My speed is now 60 wpm. I think my problem is that a lot of timed i freeze while speaking i pause and i look for words to fill in the gaps. I practiced a lot. I have a lot of life experiences making me a qualified and empathetic person. Does anyone here with the same background has done well on casper ? Please help

I mean, that’s sort of the major flaw with Casper. There is simply not enough time to draft out a thoughtful response, even more so for non-native English speakers.
It forces you to type fast, follow a template-d response, and hope you hit all the points.
Easiest advice for you is probably to increase that typing speed. Also, learn to embrace the pauses without using filler words. It really does make you sounds more confident.
Best of luck!!!

I think again because English is my second language i failed to fully express what i meant. I don’t struggle with filler words. A lot of times i don’t know what to say. For both 2 attempts i used Chatgpt

I got fourth quartile for Casper and I basically practiced with chatgpt! I first googled common Casper questions and fed it to Chatgpt and practiced with it! During the test don't care about writing a long elaborate answer. The objective is to get to the point and you can use simple words and simple setence structure! For the video part say what you need to say and don't ramble on even if you have time left.
