Ensure to register for your Casper test at least three days before your preferred test date and time to account for identity verification, payment processing, and test prep timelines.

Casper scores are only valid for a single admissions cycle, and only for the test type (American Health Sciences, Canadian Health Sciences, etc.) for which you have taken the test. You will need to take a separate Casper test for future admissions cycles or different program types, including for programs offered in different countries or languages. Applicants are not permitted to take a Casper test type more than once per admissions cycle.

You will be prompted to make a payment when reserving your Casper test. Please note that the fee applies to ALL assessments within Altus Suite (Casper, Snapshot, and Duet). There are no additional charges to take Snapshot or Duet. All fees are final, non-refundable, and valid only for the current admissions cycle.
