How to Send CASPer Test Results to More Schools

To send your CASPer test results to additional schools, log into your account, navigate to the "Distributions" section, and select new programs. Most schools require a separate distribution fee per submission. Ensure deadlines align with application cycles, as late submissions may not be accepted.

Step-by-Step Guide to Add Schools

  1. Access your account: Log in to the CASPer test portal using your credentials.
  2. Go to "Distributions": Find the tab labeled "Distributions," "Send Results," or similar.
  3. Select programs: Search for schools/programs by name or filter by category (e.g., medicine, veterinary).
  4. Confirm deadlines: Verify each program's CASPer submission deadline-some close earlier than application deadlines.
  5. Pay fees: Complete payment for each new distribution (fees vary by region/program type).
  6. Submit: Finalize and save confirmation emails/receipts for records.

Key Requirements Before Sending

  • Valid test date: Your CASPer must be taken in the same cycle as the application year.
  • Program eligibility: Only send to schools/programs that require CASPer (check their admissions pages).
  • Correct test type: Ensure you're sending the right version (e.g., CSP-10101 for medicine vs. CSP-10201 for health sciences).
  • Payment method: Have a credit/debit card ready-some systems don't accept PayPal or other options.

Cost and Processing Time Comparison

Distribution Type Cost per School Processing Time Notes
Standard (Domestic) $12-$20 1-3 business days Most common for in-country applications.
International $25-$40 3-5 business days Higher fees for schools outside your test region.
Rush Processing $35-$50 24 hours or less Limited availability; check if the school accepts rush submissions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Missing deadlines: Schools may reject late CASPer submissions even if applications are on time.
  • Wrong program code: Sending to a nursing program instead of medicine (e.g.) can't be reversed.
  • Unpaid fees: Incomplete payments void distributions-double-check transaction confirmation.
  • Ignoring updates: Some schools require a second CASPer (e.g., for interviews)-monitor your email.

What If a School Isn't Listed?

If your target school doesn't appear in the distribution system:

  1. Confirm the school actually requires CASPer (some drop it mid-cycle).
  2. Check for alternative names (e.g., "University of X College of Medicine" vs. "X Med").
  3. Contact CASPer support with the program's exact name and your test ID.
  4. Reach out to the school's admissions office for guidance.

Can You Reuse CASPer Results Next Year?

No. CASPer results expire after one application cycle. You must:

  • Retake the test the following year.
  • Repay distribution fees for new schools.
  • Update your account with current application details.
