Some of our frequently received questions include these: Are my CASPer results going to keep me out of med school? What will schools do with my CASPer results? How much does CASPer matter?
First, keep in mind that not every school requires the test and CASPer alone is not used to weed out prospective students. It's more like a school is lining up who you presented in your application next to who you appear to be according to CASPer. They're looking for great disparities between these two things. For example, if your application showed you as a modern-day saint, and your CASPer score for empathy was middling at best, that's a little interesting. Maybe you're a person who checked off a list of the right things to do before medical school but you're not truly aligned with the school's values. An introverted applicant who is shy in their interview could benefit from a strong CASPer score that shows they have the other qualities needed to be a top student and doctor.
A complete practice test is available, as is a sample test for video answers only. Your answers won't be reviewed by anyone at Acuity. This is just so you can get used to the test's format. The acuityinsights.app website has information about other ways to prepare for your test day.
