How long is the CASPer test?
Plan on approximately 90 minutes for the CASPer test, which will include the introduction, about 65 minutes of questions, and an optional break at the halfway point.

CASPer is used by programs to screen potential applicants for key personal and professional characteristics in a more fair and reliable way.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate individual schedules.
How are my results submitted to the schools?
