How CASPer Actually Works — And Why Most Prep Tools Miss the Point
The CASPer test is not like your typical admissions exam. There is no multiple choice. No memorization. No “correct” answers.
The written section of the CASPer test includes 7 short scenarios: some ethical, some interpersonal—delivered as text on your screen. Each is followed by two open-ended questions, and you are given 3.5 minutes to type your responses.
These scenarios often involve ethical dilemmas, workplace tension, or real-life judgment calls.
You are expected to respond quickly and thoughtfully under tight time limits. Your ability to think clearly, communicate ethically, and reason under pressure is what is being evaluated.
But Here's the Catch:
CASPer is not graded like a traditional test. Your answers are reviewed by real human raters, and they are graded relatively. That means your response is not evaluated on its own—it is evaluated in comparison to how other applicants answered the same question.
There is no answer key. You are not scored on content alone, but on originality, clarity, and depth of insight. You cannot stand out by saying the same thing as everyone else, no matter how "correct" it sounds.
To rank in a higher quartile, your thinking must be more thoughtful, more human, and more nuanced than your peers.
Where CASPerite Comes In — And Why We Are Different
Most CASPer prep platforms approach the test like a writing class. They show you ideal or expert-written sample answers and ask you to model yours after them.
But that is not how the test works—and it is not how it is scored.
CASPerite is built on one idea: You cannot improve unless you know what your competition is doing.
That is why CASPerite gives you a realistic, high-pressure mock test—with 7 original prompts, time limits, and structured breaks.
But what sets us apart is what happens after the test: We generate a Peer Comparison Report.
This report is built from actual student submissions. After everyone completes the same scenario set, we analyze real, timed answers—written under the same conditions as yours—and organize them by:
- The most common approaches
- The most creative and original responses
- The reasoning styles that stood out
- The subtle differences that elevated an answer
In other words, you get to see how your peers are thinking, where your own reasoning sits in that mix, and what you can do to grow.
This is not about memorizing model answers. It is about:
- Learning from diversity of thought
- Understanding what actually makes an answer stand out
- Training your brain to move beyond the obvious
CASPer is not about perfection. It is about authenticity, reflection, and judgment under pressure. That is what CASPerite helps you build.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does the CASPerite experience include?
- One full-length written mock test (7 realistic prompts)
- Custom video and text-based scenarios
- Time limits and breaks modeled on the real test
- A peer insight report, which is a unique feature of CASPerite that shows you how other students answered the same questions you did so you can see exactly how your thinking compares.
Why is peer comparison so important?
CASPer is graded relatively. That means your answer is only strong if it stands out compared to others. You cannot be placed in a higher quartile just by giving the same "good" answer everyone else gives.
CASPerite helps you grow by exposing you to:
- Real answers written under pressure by other students
- A breakdown of the most common, creative, and insightful ideas
- A better understanding of how to develop your own unique thinking under time pressure
Do you provide feedback or a score?
No. Since CASPer does not have "correct" answers or fixed rubrics, we do not score or rank users. Instead, we release a peer dataset report after the test deadline. It highlights:
- Common and standout ideas
- Reasoning trends from real student answers
- What made certain responses more insightful than others
How much does CASPerite cost?
CASPerite is free for ongoing testing, but afterwards:
- $20 for one full-length written test
- $15 if you refer a friend (you get $5 back)
- One-time payment. No subscriptions or hidden fees
When can I take the test after registering?
You can begin immediately after registering. Just make sure to submit before the deadline for that problem set. No downloads are needed - the test runs directly in your browser.
How many times can I take the test?
Each registration allows one attempt.
This helps simulate the real CASPer experience, which is also one-time and high-stakes.
What do I get after completing the test?
You will receive:
- A post-deadline peer dataset report
- Insights into how other students approached the same prompts
- A clearer sense of how to refine your own reasoning
How many questions are currently included?
The current version includes one full written test with 7 prompts (both video and written).
We are actively developing additional question sets for future releases.
Do you offer refunds?
No. Once you register and gain full access, we are unable to offer refunds.
