The admissions cycle for most Australian programs starts in July and ends the following June. However, this can vary depending on the specific course you are applying to.
Test Dates and Intake Periods:
Semester 1 intake test dates are offered from July to February, depending on the course.
Mid-year entry test dates are offered from March to June.
If you take a Casper test between July and February, you can use your score for both Semester 1 and mid-year entry because these fall within the same admissions cycle.
Reserving Your Test:
To reserve an Acuity Insights assessment, you must first apply to at least one course. When reserving your Casper test, you must select at least one course and provide any required identification numbers for all selected courses.
Additional Information:
You can view specific test dates and deadlines for Australian courses on our Dates and Fees page.
Please note: Acuity Insights results are valid for only one admission cycle and for the specific test type you took (e.g., Australian Undergraduate Teacher Education). If you apply to a different test type or for a future admission cycle—even if the test dates are only months apart—you will need to reserve a new Acuity Insights assessment.
