Some people dedicate months preparing for the casper test and still fail to get their desired result while others
prepare for a few days before their test and magically get a great mark.
I’m here to answer the infamous question. How much time should you dedicate to preparing for the casper test?
Here are four main factors you should consider to find out how much time you should dedicate for this test?
Language proficiency
Typing speed
How effectively you convey emotion in your responses( or show that your not a robot)
and
Familiarity casper question types
The first two factors require passive preparation and the last two require active preparation.
The mark you will achieve on the casper test is tied to how skilled you are in the mentioned factors. Of course there
are other metrics that you can consider that can impact your outcome such as being camera shy. but they do not seem to
be major barriers that prevent people from acing the casper test.
The order of this list is important and dictates how far in advance you should prepare for this test.
Let’s start with language proficiency.
If you are not proficient in the English language or any other language in which you are writing the casper test we
recommend you start improving on this area as soon as you find out you will have to write this test. This might take 1-2
years depending on your current language proficiency. You do not want the lack of words or ways of putting them together
to slow you down from getting your ideas across.
The second factor that might hinder many people, especially those who relied on other people’s typed notes throughout
their life, is typing speed. Typing speed is crucial for the casper test as it allows you to express as many of your
ideas in the limited allotted time in the typed response section.
Try to aim for at least 70 wpm when you respond to questions or a raw speed of 100 wpm when you practise with online
typing speed tests. The test is becoming more competitive every year. So the higher your typing speed the better.
Similar to language proficiency you should start practising typing as soon as you find out that you will be writing the
casper test. If you are a slow typer you can achieve this by practising 10 minutes a day for 6 months to a year.
The third factor you should consider is how much you can illustrate empathy in your writing and video responses.
Most people struggle with this more in writing compared to video responses. This is because in video responses you can
show emotion through facial expression. A big problem with many test takers is that their responses sound robotic. They
are not able to convey exactly how they are feeling. You have to learn to paint a picture for the reader. As you
practise, go over your answers with your peers that might be writing the test and reflect on how your response sounds to
other people. This might be difficult especially for those who don’t write or read as often. Getting good at this skill
can take anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks.
The last factor is familiarity with Casper Question types
If you are skilled in the first three factors mentioned. Congratulations! You are among the lucky ones. You can get away
with 2 weeks of preparation going over the type of questions that might appear on the casper test. There are many free
casper practice scenarios all over the internet which you can use to prepare. You can also visit Gkneeus.com which is
developed and run by 4th quartile scorers for 30 free unique casper scenarios.
So to sum it up you might have to span your casper preparation from 2 years to 2 weeks depending on your initial skill
set.
