CasperPractice

CasperPractice has been an emotional journey for me. Earlier this year, I got laid off from my job while expecting my first child and shortly after buying my first home - talk about bad timing! As many of you know, it’s been a difficult year for tech jobs, and I struggled to find a new role. Given my situation, I didn’t have time to wait it out - I had to find some way to make ends meet and support my family. At the time, my brother was telling me how hard it is to prepare for the CASPer ethics test, which is a key part of his med school application on par with the MCAT. He explained to me that practice questions were hard to come by, and that there’s no way to get feedback on your answers other than tutoring, which can cost up to $5,000 (!!). I thought "this is a problem that LLMs can solve" and ran with the idea! I brushed up on my dev skills and poured my heart and soul into this project, coding solo day and night. Finally, the week before the baby arrived, I shipped and made my first ever dollar online :) Today, hundreds of students use CasperPractice to study for the Casper. The reception has been incredible. Customers are amazed by the detailed feedback they receive on their answers - the product really is helping students prepare for the test. I believe we're just scratching the surface on what AI can do to improve the studying experience and make higher education more accessible, and I'm excited to push the boundaries and see just how far this idea can go.

Wow, @rustypeanuts, your journey is super inspiring! From job loss to launching CasperPractice, it’s a true testament to resilience. CasperPractice sounds very useful for students prepping for the CASPer test. Kudos to you for turning a tough situation into something so impactful. Keep pushing the boundaries of what AI can do!
