Watch a short preview
A few moments pulled straight from the seminar, so you can see the teaching style and the level of detail before you buy. The full marking schemes stay locked.
This is a brief sample. The full recording runs over 2.5 hours, with every marking scheme shown in full.
Masterclass recording
Use it as a final calibration pass.
The replay is for students who want the full masterclass logic without waiting for the next live session.
Use it as your final reset
It is designed to get the right ideas, structure, and emotional tone active in your head before you sit. Less a generic revision session, more a focused calibration hit.
Use it to organise your practice
The Masterclass gives you a structured peak to build your final week of prep around: what to practise, what to stop overthinking, and what a strong answer is trying to show.
A proper crash course through the points that matter.
Over 2.5 hours of structured teaching. The agenda is built around the audit findings, the marking logic, and the last high-yield skills students need before CASPer.
Camera hygiene and preparing for the day
Set yourself up so the test starts calmly, not chaotically.
My CASPer perspective recap
What CASPer is really testing, and why many good students underperform.
Common red flags and pitfalls
The answer patterns that sound generic, robotic, unsafe or unmarkable.
Framework
A clear way to approach stations without sounding like you memorised a template.
The first 15 seconds in action
How to start an answer so it immediately shows you understand the human problem.
Key skills: action and articulation
Move beyond "I would communicate" into believable action and visible reasoning.
The marking scheme
What markers can reward, what they cannot, and how to make your thought process easier to score.
Policy: when to violate rules and make judgement calls
Confidentiality, unfair rules, unsafe requests, hierarchy and competing duties.
Safety nets: when and when not
When safety genuinely matters, and when escalation sounds forced.
Q&A themes
Timing, phrasing, policy stations, empathy, conflict stations, and the answers that sound good but quietly lose marks.
How Dan marks, and what he believes the criteria looks like
Nobody outside Acuity Insights holds the official marking criteria. What Dan has is three years of coaching, 3,000+ personally reviewed responses, and a very clear picture of what separates Q4 answers from the rest. He walks through how he marks, what he believes the scoring likely rewards, and the patterns he consistently sees in high-scoring versus low-scoring responses. Students always say this reframes how they think about every answer they write.
The results back it up.
2024 and 2025
3000+ personally by Dan across 3 years
Consistently the most high-yield session of the year.
Students who attend the Masterclass go into CASPer with a different level of clarity. These are their words.
"Super high yield. Honestly the best crash course you could ask for right before CASPer. Everything you need, nothing you don't."
"I wish I'd found Dan earlier in my prep, but honestly the Masterclass alone was enough to get me a Q4. The marking walkthrough was a complete turning point."
"Genuinely so good to see everything come together in one class. It made all the practice I'd done finally make sense."
