Test

Do you have to take the CASPer test for Medical School? Which Schools Require CASPer?

CASPer Preparation Specialists

The answer to this question will depend simply on the schools that you have chosen to apply to. As of March 2021, the number of schools in the USA that use the CASPer is growing. The CASPer was first used by McMaster University in Canada, which accounts for the high proportion of Canadian schools that rely on it. However, over time we have seen schools across North America, Australasia and the UK start to use the test. You should therefore be aware of the test and the high likelihood that you will have to sit it.

If your school requires you to sit the CASPer, you must do so at a date before your school’s distribution deadline (the last date when your school will accept CASPer scores being submitted to them by the team that runs the test).

 

If you’re looking at applying to schools elsewhere in the world, then sitting CASPer might still be necessary as part of your application. The Australasian College of Emergency Medicine has begun to use CASPer for its further medical education programs, and the University of Wollongong in Australia is using CASPer for its postgraduate medical education programs. In the United Kingdom, universities have begun to use the test for Medicine as well. Here’s an overview of the UK Schools that are using the CASPer as of 2021:

Kent and Medway Medical School: Kent is using the CASPer exam for its standard BMBS medical qualification, although only for graduate applicants and a very small subset of undergraduate applicants for whom it doesn’t have certain data to contextualise their performances with.

 

There are a range of further use cases that CASPer is exploring, from Veterinary Medicine admissions to Teaching to Dentistry, and these are also reflected by increasing numbers of Universities and education providers using the test as part of their assessment process. For example, universities as diverse as Qatar University in Qatar and Deakin University in Australia are now using the CASPer, for Dentistry and Teaching respectively.
