Use both: AI for volume and a personal coach for judgment. CASPer is marked by certified human raters, so the diagnosis of what is holding you back should come from a human. That is how ExperienceMED works: Arvin Ardakani, a final-year medical student who founded ExperienceMED, trained an AI model on his own teaching for practice at any hour, and still marks students’ answers himself.
What does an AI CASPer practice platform do well?
Volume, speed and availability. You can practise twenty scenarios in a week and get instant comments at 2am. For building fluency, typing speed and getting past the blank page, that is genuinely useful. Pair it with a structured plan, such as how to prepare for CASPer, and the volume turns into progress.
Can AI marking predict your CASPer score?
No. A platform that connects a general-purpose model to its website returns a score with no published evidence that it matches how CASPer’s human raters mark. A generic model works from patterns, rewards answers that look organised, and tends to tell you what you want to hear. Arvin has seen students trust that score and come back with a 2nd-quartile result. See why generic AI marking cannot predict your CASPer score and how CASPer quartiles work.
What does a personal CASPer coach do well?
Diagnosis. A coach who reads your answers sees the pattern a score cannot name: jumping to a conclusion, too many examples, thinking you cannot yet put into words. Then you get a strategy for that one thing.
How does ExperienceMED combine AI and a personal coach?
Arvin Ardakani trained his own AI model on how he teaches and corrects answers, so students practise at any hour with feedback in the spirit of his classes. He also uses AI to transcribe answers in sessions and analyse practice recordings, so sessions go on fixing rather than finding. Read how he uses AI to make every coaching session count.
The marking and the strategy stay human. Arvin writes the practice scenarios himself, marks students’ answers himself and answers their questions directly on WhatsApp. The CASPer program carries the 4th Quartile Promise: finish it, and if you do not reach the 4th quartile, he keeps working with you next cycle at no extra cost, until you do.
Does the same apply to MMI practice?
Yes. AI helps you rehearse out loud, but MMI and panel interviews are scored by people. The Interview course gives you original stations, recorded mock interviews and a teardown after each one. For using a chatbot well, read how to use ChatGPT for CASPer and interview practice.
