just some feedback for those that are doing the CASPer test from a soon to be first year med student at Stanford. you only have 5 mins so realistically if you look at this company's sample answers, there is NO WAY you'd be able to type that much under timed conditions, so those are definitely not realistic responses.

Very true. They are idealized, somewhat exhaustive, and are more like a control answer for maximum score to build overall familiarity with the issue.

However, you'd be surprised how many of the main ideas can be covered by well-prepared students, as we've seen in our own grading, especially if they go to bullet-points and not full sentences.
