Casper results are sent to your selected programs approximately two to three weeks after your test date. You won’t see your own score right away, though. Your personal quartile ranking becomes available about one month after you take the test, and your full quartile score is released by December 15 of that admissions cycle.
When Programs Receive Your Scores
Acuity Insights, the company that administers Casper, distributes your results to the programs on your distribution list roughly two to three weeks after you complete the test. You don’t need to do anything to trigger this. As long as you selected your programs before or during the test, the scores go out automatically once they’re processed.
If you add a new program to your distribution list after that initial two-to-three-week window, your results will be sent to the new program within one business day. This is useful if you decide to apply somewhere you hadn’t originally planned on, since you won’t face another multi-week wait.
When You See Your Own Score
Casper doesn’t give you a raw numerical score. Instead, you receive a quartile ranking that shows how you performed relative to everyone else who took the same test type. This quartile score becomes available approximately one month after your test date. Your score will also appear in your Acuity Insights account by December 15 of the current admissions cycle, regardless of when you tested.
The quartile system places you in one of four groups. A first-quartile result means you scored in the bottom 25% of test takers, while a fourth-quartile result puts you in the top 25%. Programs use this ranking alongside the rest of your application, but how heavily they weigh it varies.
How to Check Your Score Delivery Status
Acuity Insights does not send email notifications when your scores are delivered to programs, so you’ll need to check manually. Log into your Acuity Insights account and navigate to the Reservations section. Your test status will show one of two labels:
- “Completed – Results delivered” means your scores have been successfully sent to your programs.
- “Completed – Results pending” means your scores are still being processed and haven’t gone out yet.
If your status still shows “Results pending” after three weeks, it’s worth reaching out to Acuity Insights support. Otherwise, checking your dashboard periodically during that two-to-three-week window is the most reliable way to confirm delivery.
Scores Are Valid for One Cycle Only
Your Casper score is valid for a single admissions cycle and a single test type. If you took the test for the 2026-2027 cycle, that score cannot be carried over to a future year. It also can’t be transferred between different test categories. For example, a score from the U.S. Professional Health Sciences test can’t be applied to Canadian Medicine programs, even if both require Casper.
This means if you’re reapplying next year, you’ll need to take Casper again. The same applies if you’re applying to programs that fall under a different test type in the same cycle. Each test type and each admissions year requires its own sitting.
Planning Around the Timeline
Since programs receive your scores two to three weeks after you test, timing your Casper date matters. If a program has a rolling admissions process or an early deadline, you’ll want to take Casper early enough that your scores arrive before the committee reviews your file. Check each program’s deadline and count backward at least three weeks to find the latest comfortable test date.
Taking the test earlier in the cycle also gives you more flexibility. Your quartile score won’t be available to you for about a month, but programs will already have your results well before that. If you’re applying to multiple programs across different deadlines, an earlier test date ensures all of them have your scores in hand without you needing to worry about cutting it close.
