CASPer test dates and CASPer score release timing are program-specific, so applicants should treat Acuity Dates and Fees as the live source of truth instead of relying on a static school list. The right date depends on your test type, program list, and distribution deadlines.
For applicants who want structured support alongside official Acuity preparation, CASPer practice scenarios can help connect scenario review, timing, and feedback into a more consistent CASPer prep routine.
CASPer Test Dates and Score Release Dates
Acuity's Dates and Fees page is where applicants verify test type, available dates, fees, distribution deadlines, and program-specific details. That matters because a distribution deadline is not always the same as an application deadline.
| Planning item | What to verify |
|---|---|
| Test type | The exact CASPer test required by each program |
| Available dates | Dates shown for your country, language, cycle, and program type |
| Distribution deadline | Last day results can be sent to a program |
| Score delivery | Results are usually sent to programs about 2-3 weeks after the test |
| Applicant quartile | Usually available about 4-5 weeks after the test |
How to Choose a CASPer Date
Work backward from the earliest distribution deadline on your school list. If a program must receive CASPer before reviewing your file, the safest date is not the final possible date; it is a date that leaves processing margin and gives you time to fix account or matching issues.
If you add a program after the initial processing period, Acuity says eligible results are usually sent within 1 business day, but the program must still accept scores for the same test type and be within its distribution deadline.
CASPer Score Release vs Program Delivery
Applicants often confuse two timelines. Programs usually receive results before applicants see a quartile. Your applicant quartile is useful feedback, but the program-facing result is the operational piece that affects whether your school receives CASPer.
