I still have doubts that it is CASPer

haha its definitely CASPer. Like we had to sign-up and everything for it. 

 

Also, does anyone know if what CASPer says is true? That you can't really prepare for it? Cause on their site they say that "general literature suggests that situational judgment tests (SJTs) are relatively immune to test preparation, i.e. that coaching is unlikely to provide benefit."

notice the wording ... "that SJTs are relatively immune to test preparation" ... "RELATIVELY" immune.... relative to what? and where's the evidence? they haven't provided any.

 

 

there's lots of evidence to back up that advanced preparation and practice are helpful for tests like casper.   See the following articles:
