Casper Test Day Rules, Retakes and What Happens After the Test

Acuity says its free practice test is the best preparation and that there are no right answers. What a strong Casper response does instead, one timed practice scenario, and how to use your minutes.

Casper Practice Scenarios: What a Strong Answer Actually Does

Human raters score every Casper answer, one rater per scenario, and the combined score is standardised against the pool. What your quartile means and what programs get instead.

Casper Test (Acuity Insights)

Casper is an open-response situational judgment test run by Acuity Insights and used by participating programs in their admissions processes. For the 2026-2027 admissions cycle the standard test has 11 scenarios in two sections: 4 video-response scenarios, each with two questions answered in 1 minute per question, then 7 typed-response scenarios, each with two questions answered together in 3.5 minutes. It takes about 65 to 85 minutes including two optional breaks, and is taken on a desktop or laptop computer with a working webcam and microphone. Every response is scored by trained human raters, and each scenario is scored by a different rater. Casper is not a pass-or-fail test. Each program decides how to use the result; applicants currently do not receive their Casper score; they receive a quartile score, which shows how they compare with other applicants on the same test type. Each test type can be taken once per admissions cycle. Some programs, such as Australian teacher education programs, use a shorter format, and Canadian programs may require the English or French test.
