How Is the Casper Test Scored and Evaluated?

Each applicant’s Casper test is evaluated based on both typed and video responses. A single combined score is generated, which distributed to the programs to which the applicant has added to their distribution list. To receive a valid score, all response sections of the test must be completed.

Each section of your exam is reviewed by a different human rater. These raters are carefully selected to reflect a broad cross-section of the general population in the country where you plan to study. This diversity helps ensure fairness and impartiality in the evaluation process.

Your responses are anonymized before being evaluated. Raters do not see any personal information such as your name, age, or photo, only your typed or video responses are presented to them.

Each rater is assigned a specific scenario and is given all necessary background knowledge and instructions relevant to the topic at hand. Raters are then presented with multiple responses from different applicants related to that single scenario. Importantly, no rater scores an applicant more than once, ensuring unbiased evaluation.

Raters are instructed to focus on the substance and quality of your response rather than technical issues like grammar or spelling. Their goal is to assess your thought process, judgment, and communication.

Once all responses are evaluated, the individual ratings are averaged. The resulting scores are standardized to represent the relative rankings of each applicant compared to the applicant pool.

All raters must complete a comprehensive training program and receive accreditation before they are allowed to score responses. This helps ensure consistent and high-quality evaluations.

At this time, applicants do not receive their Casper score. For details on why scores are not shared, please refer to the article: Will I Receive My Casper Score?
