Curriculum
Fourteen lessons, from what Casper measures to your test-day golden rules.
What Casper actually measures
The test, the ten qualities behind it, and the one idea this whole course is built on.
Test day: format & timing
The 2026–27 format, the two sections, a timing plan for every response, and how much to write.
Video & word scenarios, video & typed answers
Inside the test: video vs word scenarios, what to write down, and how to answer on camera or by typing.
How you're scored: quartiles
Who scores your answers, what they reward, and what each quartile looks like.
Question types & common scenarios
The five question types and the structure each one needs, quirky questions, the settings Casper loves, never assuming, and the must-report rule.
PPRDJF, step by step
The framework for situational questions, letter by letter: what to ask yourself at every step.
IF/THEN: the pillar of Casper
How to decide when the scenario leaves facts out: the IF/THEN formula, the must-report rule, and a full worked example.
Worked examples: situational dilemmas & conflict
Two dilemmas and two conflict questions, video and word: PPRDJ notes first, then the answer they produce, IF/THEN included.
Worked examples: personal, policy & choice
Personal stance, reform and policy questions, and situational choices, each with its structure, built from notes.
Worked examples: behavioral, twists & getting unstuck
STAR-L and your story bank, two behavioral and two twist answers, plus a five-step routine for when your mind goes blank.
Nailing the why
What a real reason is, three tests to spot a fake one, and how to count your whys.
3rd vs 4th: the habits that matter
The habits that hold good answers in the 3rd quartile, and the exact rewrite for each.
Red flags & your prep plan
What sinks an answer, how to grade your own practice, and building up to full-length tests on Sandbox.
Summary: the golden rules
Everything that matters for test day in one place, plus the final check across the whole course.
Six skills, step by step
Each skill has its own lessons: short videos, with practice right after.
