Planning for the Casper Assessment

If a program on your school list requires Casper, plan the assessment alongside your application deadlines. Requirements, available dates, and fees depend on the programs and admissions cycle you select.

Confirm Whether You Need Casper

Read each school’s current application instructions. Check the required assessment, test language, admissions cycle, and accepted dates. A requirement at one school does not mean every school uses the same assessment.

Check Dates and Fees

Use Acuity Insights’ Dates and Fees tool to select your country, language, cycle, and programs. Current pricing includes a base testing fee and program distribution fees. Do not rely on old articles quoting a universal $12 price or monthly testing schedule.

Allow time for identity verification, payment processing, technical checks, and any accommodation request. Confirm your time zone and each program’s deadline before making a reservation.

Understand the Format

Casper combines video and typed responses to situational questions. Review the current official test description and use the practice test associated with your account.

Choose Your Score Destinations Carefully

Make sure the programs listed in your account match the schools and application cycle you intend to apply to. Check the provider’s instructions for result delivery and any deadline for adding programs.

Keep the Rest of Your Application Moving

Track transcripts, essays, recommendations, and interviews separately from the assessment. Completing Casper does not replace any of those requirements or guarantee admission.
