Test prep · Snapshot / Altus Suite · Single course

Who it's for
This course is for
- Applicants whose programs add written follow-ups to Altus Snapshot video responses
- Casper and Duet candidates rounding out their Altus Suite preparation
- Typists who are accurate at a walking pace but fall apart when the window is a single minute
- Anyone who tends to over-write and needs to practice stopping cleanly
Probably not for

- Typists who already finish a clean 60 to 80 word reflection with 15 seconds to spare
- Anyone expecting video-interview coaching — this course covers the written side only
How the course works
- 1
Diagnose
Start with the free preview lessons. Your per-key and per-word stats show exactly which words, transitions, and symbols are slowing you down under the clock.
- 2
Drill
Work through vocabulary, phrase, and paragraph lessons in order. Each one is short, replayable, and saves your best speed and accuracy so you can see the trend.
- 3
Simulate
Finish with full-length timed simulations that mirror the real format, so the pace of the actual test feels familiar rather than frightening.

2 lessonsWhy typing speed matters for Snapshot Written Follow-up
In this format the reader sees both the mistakes and the corrections. A clean 40 WPM response beats a messy 55 WPM one.
Most Snapshot written follow-ups fall into one- or two-minute windows. The one-minute window leaves room for a position and a single reason; the two-minute window allows a small trade-off sentence. Knowing the shape saves seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How fast do I need to type for Snapshot written follow-ups?
Optimize for accuracy at 35 to 45 WPM rather than raw speed. The windows are one or two minutes, so a tidy 60 to 80 word reflection at 40 WPM reads better than a longer answer full of visible corrections.
Is this the official the Snapshot assessment?
No. This is independent typing practice built around the format and time pressure of the Snapshot assessment. Snapshot / 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 Snapshot should I start?
Because the drills are one to two minutes each, a couple of weeks of daily ten-minute sessions covers the whole course several times over. Start earlier if you are also preparing for Casper or Duet.
Does every program use a written follow-up?
No. Snapshot is primarily a video tool; only some programs add short written follow-ups. Check your program's requirements — if it does, this course drills that exact format.
Can I try the Snapshot 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 Snapshot 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.
