The Casper test is a situational judgment test that has gained popularity in recent years as part of the admissions process for American medical schools. The test evaluates non-academic competencies such as communication, ethics, empathy, and problem-solving skills. It consists of a series of hypothetical scenarios followed by questions that require applicants to choose the most appropriate course of action. The Casper test is becoming an increasingly important tool for medical schools to evaluate applicants holistically, alongside their academic achievements.
