Ace the Casper Test

The Casper test is an essential component of the medical school admissions process, designed to evaluate your situational judgment, ethical reasoning, and decision-making skills. Many schools, including Schulich School of Medicine, McMaster, and others, place significant weight on Casper scores when selecting applicants for interviews.

Casper is a computer-based, open-response test that assesses how well you can navigate real-world dilemmas in healthcare, teamwork, and ethical scenarios. It’s not about memorization—it’s about demonstrating strong communication skills, empathy, and professionalism.

As someone who scored in the 4th quartile, I know firsthand what it takes to perform well on the test. In the video below, I break down my strategy and share expert tips on how you too can master Casper and maximize your chances of securing a medical school interview.

What Makes Casper Challenging?

Many students struggle with Casper because:

❌ They don’t know how to structure their answers effectively

❌ They run out of time before completing their responses

❌ They provide surface-level answers instead of deep reflections

❌ They are unsure how to demonstrate ethical reasoning and professionalism
