What is a Casper test type?
A Casper test type is the version of the Casper assessment required by the program(s) you are applying to.
Different programs may require different Casper test types based on factors such as:
Country
Program category
Language requirements
Only programs that require the same test type can be selected together when reserving a Casper test.
How to find the test type you need for your program(s)
The Dates and Fees page is the best place to find the Casper test type required by your program(s). In addition to the required test type, the page also provides:
Available test dates and times

To find your test type:
Select the country where your program is located.
Select a language, if applicable.
Choose the admissions cycle.
Select your program type.

The results will display the Casper test type required for your selected program(s), along with any associated requirements and deadlines.

Important considerations
Applying to multiple programs
If all of your programs require the same Casper test type, you only need to take Casper once.
Applying across different countries, languages, or program categories
If you are applying to programs that require different countries, languages, or test types, you may need to reserve more than one Casper test.
Test types are not interchangeable
Programs only accept the Casper test type specified in their requirements. Always ensure you reserve the correct test type before completing your assessment.
