*CASPER TEST* COMPLETE GUIDE 2023 | What You NEED to Know To Do Well

[@nxtgenmd]

Curious to hear from everyone :) What're your thoughts about the new mandatory video recording component of the CASPER? Is this better than a purely typing test?

[@YvonWU]

Thank you for your video. I was confused about the test and struggled with how to prepare for it. After your advice, I felt better and had some ideas for preparing for this test.

[@tijanitemilade9442]

I'm having my Casper 2am tomorrow and I hope the videos I've watched really help

[@themedboys]

This is an amazing video and thank you for the opportunity to share tips on how to succeed on Casper!

[@nxtgenmd]

Thanks for coming on buddy :) I really appreciate it

[@vidushannuwanga9567]

Hey Luca!! Remember me? Finally I made it to Canada and started my school. Your video always kept me motivated. Thank you brother ❤

[@nxtgenmd]

Vidushan :) Of course buddy - congrats on officially beginning your journey now. Please check in every now and then with updates. Best of luck!

[@ninjaboykills]

I studied the day before and got 4th quartile.

[@colbybevell1956]

How

[@justauser404]

Bro how you even nailed it rly need to know I’m currently super stressed out about my upcoming test

[@treasurejioke4691]

I am having my Casper test on February I have courage now for the test now thanks

[@kitcatcatty]

I wrote CASPer for canadian med this cycle for the 1st time and I got 4th quartile. I agree you definitely need 1 month or so to prep, but what matters most is getting feedback from people in your life - med students, your parents, literally anyone. Typing speed does not matter. I didn't finish a single typed question and clearly that didn't hurt me

[@nxtgenmd]

Thanks for the input and congrats on your score :) I'd agree, it seems like all the students that I interviewed endorsed getting feedback from others

[@twicetzuyu7668]

I did it a few days after I applied for the casper test I think it went horribly

[@jojomojolazy]

This content is goated

[@nxtgenmd]

glad to help 🙂

[@JosephHenein8616]

can you make a video about study techniques and the most efficient way to study for bio and chem courses. love your content btw keep up the great work

[@nxtgenmd]

Hey Joseph thanks a lot :) I've done some study videos in the past but might revisit this sometime in the new year. Best of luck for now!

[@dreamdream1212]

can you please make a video on the total cost of the entire journey i.e.{ from MCCCQE to getting into university} for an IMG? So, that I can be mentally prepared !!

[@nxtgenmd]

Hi Liza :) This video would be very difficult to pin down because of the variability involved. Are you speaking about an IMG that has already completed medical school or an international student looking to begin in undergrad here in Canada? For IMGs who have already graduated, MCCQE 1 = $1375 CAD NAC OSCE = $1525 CAD CaRMS application = $300 CAD + $55 for each additional program beginning on the 5th program CMPA Insurance = $1668 CAD per year in Ontario Email activation with the school where you do residency = $1000+ CAD + Any miscellaneous fees associated with citizenship, immigration, etc.

[@u3962521]

Thanks for this great video

[@nxtgenmd]

Glad it helped!

[@explorernursenandini9867]

[@yazosoyo]

Hi, great video! I’m barely starting to learn about CASper but a program I will be applying for requires it! I did not know there was a video component 😮!!! I’m also confused about how you found out your score? I was under the impression that the scores are not shared with the test taker only the university. Where and how do you suggest studying for this test?

[@ojassingh4115]

Hi Gianluca! Great video! I was just wondering, how many hours did you prep per day when studying for CASper? You said that you studied for around 1 month-1.5 months, therefore I was curious... I am planning to do my own CASper in October, so being able to gauge the amount of time you spent will help me adopt a daily routine on how to study. (Ofc you also said people study for a week or so as well and still do well, but I want to study for the higher end just to be safe lol).

[@nxtgenmd]

Hey dude :) I studied about an hour a day and sometimes 2. Most students I’ve worked with agreed that 1 hour was sufficient for them on a long term basis. I did a little bit more because my top school heavily weighed casper grades in the admissions process. Best of luck with the studying!

[@ojassingh4115]

@@nxtgenmd Perfect thank you so much! So kind of like CARS prep then haha. Cheers mate!

[@messimagisterial4216]

Hey man I'm in the biomed program in Ryerson(3rd year). I'm really struggling right now. You have any tips since you've also taken these courses BCH 361 BLG 856 BLG 307? Also who's better Messi or Ronaldo?

[@nxtgenmd]

Oh man, Advanced Biochem was a hard one - try to do as well as possible in the lab component to boost your mark and try not to skip lectures. That exam was killer for a lot of us. Does Agard still teach immunology? She was great 🤙 Sit in the front, print the slides if possible and ask questions as you go through. It's very hard to recover if you fall behind. Pro tip, take Advanced Immuno next year - its easier and more interesting if you liked the first one Molecular was rough as well, no way around it so you gotta go through it. Sit in the front, do the slide readings before hand and don't be scared to ask Prof. Gilbride questions as you go through. The Midterm was rough, but the exam was better I thought. Check if there's any previous midterms circulating amongst your friends. Best of luck with it. I'm a bigger Ronaldo fan aha but you gotta give Messi his credit as one of the best as well!

[@messimagisterial4216]

Yeah haha true. Botelho is teaching immunology right now.

[@tortillero3138]

The Casper test is stupid

[@mustyndusty8277]

test in 30 minutes, pray for me

[@jacostau]

Hey what a such interesting video. Q: How much time did you need to answer and review a 40 q block, timed and random? Thank you

[@nxtgenmd]

Hi Julio - are you referring to the UWorld questions for the USMLE step exams? I don't quite know what 40 question block you are referring to for CASPer

[@idris3293]

I’m taking a casper for my physical therapy masters is there any other resource you can connect me too or its pretty much the same?

[@nxtgenmd]

From what I've heard from students, all versions of CASPER are relatively similar - I hope it went well!

[@successwilliams6623]

Hey, don't know when you might answer this but my casper test is in like two weeks I wanted to ask with each role we were given are we supposed to answer the questions according to the role we were given or professionally for example my role is a friend and I caught my friend cheating am I suppose to act as a friend or professionally

[@sarwatmansoor]

Hi I want to do casper for MLT ADMUSSION 2025at Mitchener , Toronto ca n you please guide me to practice it. Thanks

[@Friaa-ox4fv]

If someone gets the 3rd quartile, is there still a chance to select an interview from McMaster? 😔 She is an out of province student.

[@sng3939]

Is Casper actually hard??

[@nxtgenmd]

Depends on who you ask and which schools they apply for. To put it into perspective, many Canadian applicants aim for a 4th quartile score to be truly competitive at some schools. This means that approx. 75% of applicants will fall short of their ideal score.

[@prigaba2967]

Which face book group you join. Can you please tell us the name so that we can join too.

[@jacostau]

Do you speak Spanish?

[@nxtgenmd]

Just English and Italian unfortunately

[@oldmedstudent1750]

Not going to be following advice from someone who states their pronouns while introducing themselves. The other two students seem solid.
