The 2026-2027 Video Format
For most applicants in the 2026-2027 cycle, CASPer includes 11 scenarios total: 4 video-response scenarios followed by 7 typed-response scenarios. The video section comes first. Each video-response scenario has 2 questions, shown one at a time, and you have 1 minute to record each answer.
CASPer scenarios may be video-based or word-based. That means a video-response question does not always begin with a filmed scene; you may also respond aloud to a written scenario.
| Section | Scenarios | Questions | Response time | Break |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Video response | 4 | 2 per scenario | 1 minute per answer | Optional 10-minute break after this section |
| Typed response | 7 | 2 per scenario | 3.5 minutes total per scenario | Optional 5-minute break after first 4 typed scenarios |
The full CASPer test typically takes about 65-85 minutes. Because the video section starts the test, your first few minutes can feel more intense than practice if you have not rehearsed the mechanics.
