How to begin the Casper test on the day of your test

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Getting ready to begin your Casper test? Here’s what to expect on test day.

Before Your Test:

  • A few days before your scheduled Casper test, run the System Requirements Check from your Acuity Insights account.

  • Do this check on the same device and internet connection you plan to use on test day.

  • This ensures your webcam, browser, and internet connection meet the test requirements.

On Test Day:

  • Log in to your Acuity Insights account 30 minutes before your scheduled test time.

  • Go to the testing page. You’ll see a countdown timer.

  • When the timer ends, a “Start” button will appear.

  • Click “Start” to begin your test.

⚠️ Important:

You have 15 minutes to click the “Start” button once it appears.

If you miss this window, you’ll need to reschedule your test (if another test date is available).
