What Makes CASPer Challenging?
- Strict time limits for each scenario
- Written and video responses under pressure
- Scored by multiple independent raters
- Focus on ethical reasoning and professionalism
Practice with free CASPer scenarios and get expert feedback from CasperCoach.
Traditional Interviews: Key Differences
- Face-to-face interaction and follow-up questions
- Opportunity to build rapport and clarify answers
- More subjective evaluation, but also more personal
Mock interviews with friends, mentors, or professional coaches are invaluable.
