Casper study plan

Casper · Give each week a clear focus.

8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Social intelligence

  • Define social intelligence in the Casper context by writing a one-paragraph description of how it is assessed through typed video-response and word-based scenarios.

  • Identify the observable behaviours that signal empathy, active listening, and perspective-taking in a written response, listing at least six concrete indicators.

  • Practise paraphrasing another person's position accurately in 10 short written scenarios without adding your own judgement.

  • Build a personal vocabulary bank of 20 neutral, non-judgemental phrases for acknowledging emotion and disagreement.

Your checkpoint

A 1,500-word social intelligence notes document containing your definition, six behavioural indicators, 10 paraphrased scenarios, and the 20-phrase vocabulary bank.

Week 2

Social intelligence

  • Analyse how to read the emotional tone and unstated needs in a short scenario, writing a one-line interpretation for 12 practice prompts.

  • Construct responses that name the stakeholder, the emotion, and the underlying interest before proposing any action.

  • Compare weak versus strong responses to the same scenario and justify in writing why the stronger one scores higher.

  • Time yourself answering four scenario prompts in the typical Casper response window and review each against a self-made rubric.

Your checkpoint

A comparison log of four timed responses, each with a self-scored rubric rating and three specific improvement notes.

Week 3

Social intelligence

  • Deconstruct conflict scenarios by mapping each party's stated position, hidden interest, and emotional stake on a three-column worksheet.

  • Draft responses that balance competing needs and explicitly explain the trade-off you are making.

  • Practise responding to scenarios involving cultural, generational, or power differences without stereotyping any group.

  • Record yourself speaking four responses aloud and assess clarity, pacing, and empathy in the delivery.

Your checkpoint

A conflict-mapping workbook covering eight scenarios, each with a completed three-column map and a 150-word balanced response.

Week 4

Social intelligence & Professionalism

  • Consolidate social intelligence practice by completing a full timed mock section and scoring every answer against explicit criteria.

  • Define professionalism in the Casper context by writing how integrity, accountability, and respect for others are demonstrated in written and video responses.

  • Identify the boundary between being supportive and overstepping your role in five short scenarios.

  • Draft a personal ethics checklist of eight questions to run through before committing to an answer.

Your checkpoint

A full timed mock section with a scored answer key and a written reflection identifying your three weakest response patterns.

Week 5

Professionalism

  • Analyse scenarios involving academic or workplace dishonesty and articulate the reasoning behind each chosen course of action.

  • Practise responses that acknowledge a mistake, name the harm done, and specify a concrete corrective step.

  • Distinguish between confidentiality, honesty, and loyalty when these obligations conflict in a scenario.

  • Write responses that address the person affected first, then the institution, then the process.

Your checkpoint

A set of six written integrity scenarios with model answers, each annotated with the ethical principle it relies on.

Week 6

Professionalism

  • Evaluate how to respond when a peer or supervisor acts unethically, including escalation thresholds and appropriate channels.

  • Construct responses that show respect for authority while maintaining personal accountability.

  • Practise describing your own limitations and when to seek help, without sounding evasive or self-critical.

  • Refine a bank of 15 phrases for professional disagreement that remain respectful and direct.

Your checkpoint

A decision-tree document for handling unethical behaviour, with three worked examples and the 15-phrase disagreement bank.

Week 7

Social intelligence & Professionalism

  • Integrate both domains by answering 10 mixed scenarios where empathy and professional standards pull in different directions.

  • Practise structuring every answer as situation, reasoning, action, and reflection within the time limit.

  • Review your week 4 reflection and rewrite your three weakest responses to a higher standard.

  • Simulate full test conditions twice, including setup, timing, and video recording, and log your energy and pacing.

Your checkpoint

Two complete timed simulations with rewritten versions of the three previously weakest responses.

Week 8

Social intelligence & Professionalism

  • Consolidate your personal answer frameworks into a one-page reference sheet you can recall under pressure.

  • Complete a final full mock under exam conditions and score it against your rubric.

  • Audit all prior deliverables to confirm every identified weakness has a documented improvement.

  • Plan a light review schedule for the final days covering vocabulary, ethics checklist, and pacing only.

Your checkpoint

A one-page personal framework sheet plus a final scored mock report with a written readiness assessment.

Milestones

Week 2: You can interpret the emotional tone and unstated needs of a scenario in one sentence and open every response by naming the stakeholder, emotion, and interest.

Week 4: You have completed one full timed mock section, scored every answer, and can state your three weakest response patterns in writing.

Week 6: You can explain, for any integrity scenario, which obligation takes priority and why, using your decision tree without notes.

Week 8: You have completed two exam-condition simulations, rewritten your weakest answers, and hold a one-page framework sheet you can reproduce from memory.
