How can applicants display these qualities in the context of a typed response?
How can students succeed on the Casper test? By practicing using sample scenarios and utilizing a number of distinct strategies. These include strategies to help you organize your thoughts, such as the use of frameworks for specific types of questions, the preparation of story banks to help you respond to behavioral questions, and an understanding of the basics of medical ethics.
