To book your Casper test or add programs to your distribution list, you generally need to provide all required student or application ID numbers. These IDs are typically issued by the programs or application portals once you’ve completed certain steps in the application process.
What if You Don’t Have Your OMSAS ID Yet?
We understand that some applicants to Ontario medical schools may want to take the Casper test before the OMSAS application portal opens. In that case, you may not have your OMSAS ID yet.
If that applies to you, you can still reserve your Casper test using a temporary ID number.
How to Reserve Your Test with a Temporary ID
When asked for your 6-digit OMSAS ID, enter: 800000 (temporary placeholder)
Important: Update Your ID When You Receive It
Once you receive your actual OMSAS ID, you must update it in your Acuity Insights account. Not updating your ID could result in your Casper test scores not being sent to the correct programs.
