Test prep · Duet / Altus Suite
Duet asks you to rank values and defend the order. Type the rationale before the clock does.
The Duet written rationale is short and dense: name the professional you aligned with, explain what drove the choice, and acknowledge a trade-off. This course drills the vocabulary and phrasing that carry it.

What you'll be able to do
- Complete 56 lessons from value-word warmups to full ranking-plus-defense responses
- Type values-comparison vocabulary — priority, commitment, stewardship, equity, transparency — without hesitation
- Produce a focused rationale paragraph that names your alignment, reason, and trade-off in one pass
- Write full 180 to 220 word rankings with defenses inside the time window
- Finish each rationale 30 to 45 seconds before the clock so you can reread and tweak one word
- Rehearse original healthcare, education, and professional scenarios, not recycled samples
Who it's for
This course is for
- Health-professions applicants whose programs use the Altus Suite Duet assessment
- Casper candidates who also face Duet and want the written side rehearsed
- Applicants who default to vague adjectives because specific sentences take too long to type
- Anyone who has never justified a values ranking in writing against a timer
Probably not for
- Applicants whose programs use Duet without a written component
- Typists already accurate at 55+ WPM on short reflective prose
- Anyone looking for Duet scoring insight or sample rationales — this is typing practice only

Why typing speed matters for Duet
A single concrete sentence about why accountability matters in the context of two profiles is worth ten adjectives. When typing speed is low, you default to adjectives because they are cheap.
Duet rationales are short enough that one awkward sentence skews the whole response. Speed buys the editing time that prevents it.
The vocabulary is predictable. You already know what these words mean; the point is making your fingers produce them while you compare two professionals under a clock.

Frequently asked questions
How fast do I need to type for Duet?
Fast enough to finish a focused rationale and still reread it. The written rationale is a paragraph, not an essay, so accuracy and having the values vocabulary in your fingers matter more than a flashy WPM number. Plan to finish 30 to 45 seconds early.
Is this the official the Duet assessment?
No. This is independent typing practice built around the format and time pressure of the Duet assessment. Duet / Altus Suite is a trademark of its respective owner, and SureTyping is not affiliated with or endorsed by it. Every prompt and response is original practice material, not recycled sample answers.
How long before Duet should I start practicing?
Two to four weeks of short daily sessions is plenty for the written side. If you are also preparing for Casper, alternate the two courses — the ethical vocabulary overlaps heavily.
Does my progress save?
Yes. Lesson completions, speed and accuracy history, and your all-time best records are stored on your account, so you can pick up on any device where you left off.
Can I try the Duet course before I buy?
Yes. The first 2 lessons of every paid course are free previews — sign in and start typing. If the drills feel right, one purchase unlocks the rest.
Is the Duet course a one-time purchase?
Yes. You pay once and keep lifetime access. There is no recurring charge and nothing to cancel — the course stays in your library for as long as SureTyping exists.
