Planning your Casper: A quick guide to when and how to take them

Understand when you need to take Casper, and check the time requirements for your Acuity Insights assessments

Updated today

All test dates and distribution deadlines are pre-arranged with academic programs and tests are processed as a group to ensure timely delivery of scores.

1. Reserving your Casper test

You must take the Casper test on a date that matches the program(s) you're applying to. These dates are listed on the Dates and Fees page.

  • Reserve early: Reserve your Casper test at least 3 days before your preferred test date. This allows time for your identity to be verified and your payment to be processed.

  • Avoid last-minute reservations: They are not recommended and may risk delays. Reserving your Casper test early allows you to reschedule if you need to, and in some cases, your programs/courses can begin reviewing your application sooner.

2. Testing accommodations

If you need testing accommodations (such as extra time or assistive technology), you must submit:

  • All required forms

  • Supporting documentation

    These must be submitted at least 4 weeks before your scheduled test date.

3. Time zone reminder

Casper test times are shown in North American Eastern Time — either EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) or EST (Eastern Standard Time).

  • Double-check and convert to your time zone to make sure you log in at the right time.

  • Use the countdown timer on your Acuity Insights test page for accuracy.
