Here are the Casper test dates for the 2026-2027 cycle:
Please note that Casper test dates vary by medical school. It’s best to check which dates the specific schools you’re applying to will offer.
To schedule your Casper test, create a reservation through the Altus Suite platform, select the correct admissions cycle and programs, and choose a test date that meets your school’s distribution deadlines.
Here are the exact steps to schedule your Casper test:
Once you complete these steps, Altus confirms your Casper test booking and distributes your results to the schools you selected.
When scheduling your Casper test, choose a date and time that allows adequate preparation, avoids scheduling conflicts, accounts for time zone differences, accommodates approved needs, and ensures your scores are released in time to meet application deadlines.
Give yourself enough time to understand the Casper format and practice responding to situational judgment scenarios. The Casper tests your communication and decision-making skills rather than specific facts you can memorize. However, practicing the format can help you respond more clearly and confidently.
Most applicants benefit from a few weeks of focused Casper preparation using official practice resources, like the full 11-scenario practice test that can be found in your Acuity Insights account.
For more insight on how to best prepare for the Casper, you can watch our webinar in which two former admissions advisors share their top testing strategies:
Pick a Casper test date that does not conflict with work, classes, exams, travel, or major life events. You’ll be required to stay focused for over an hour, so avoid scheduling it on an already demanding day.
Casper test times are listed in Eastern Time (ET). If you live in another time zone, convert the test time carefully to your local time. Failing to account for time zone differences is a common and avoidable mistake.
If you require accommodations due to a disability or medical condition, request them through Acuity Insights as early as possible. Approval can take time, so choose a test date that leaves room for the accommodations process to be completed before test day.
Casper scores are automatically sent to the programs you selected approximately 2 to 3 weeks after your test date. Schools then update application statuses within their own portals.
To avoid delays, schedule your Casper test far enough in advance to ensure score delivery before each school’s stated deadline. Late testing can delay review or make your application incomplete.
To ensure you're prepared for test day, get expert help from CASPer tutors who can improve your score. They'll help you identify your strengths, rectify your weaknesses, and understand how to properly answer these types of questions.
No, you can’t take the Casper test whenever. You can only take Casper on specific test dates offered during each admissions cycle. You must choose one of the available dates listed in the Altus Suite system. Select a date that allows enough preparation time and ensures your score reaches schools before their application deadlines.
The Casper test fee costs $85 USD, which includes score distribution to up to seven programs. Each additional program costs $18 USD. All fees are non-refundable and apply only to the current admissions cycle.
You can take the Casper test only once per admissions cycle for each test type. If you apply to multiple programs that require the same Casper test type in the same cycle, they all receive the same score. You must wait until the next admissions cycle to retake the test.
To register for Casper, create an Acuity Insights account, select your programs, and reserve an available test date and time through the Altus Suite platform. Complete identity verification and payment during registration. And register at least three days before your test date to avoid last-minute issues.
You should prepare for the Casper test by learning the test format and practicing enough to feel comfortable answering scenarios under time pressure. Use the official practice tools from Acuity Insights to understand how video and typed responses work, then focus on structuring clear, ethical, and professional answers rather than memorizing responses.
