How much does the Casper test cost?

Casper has two parts to the price: a base testing fee, plus a distribution fee for each program you send your score to. Acuity Insights shows the exact amounts on its Dates and Fees page once you choose your programs, so your total depends on how many programs you apply to. As of October 2026, fees are final and non-refundable, and moving your date within 30 days costs $20.

What you pay for

Acuity doesn’t list a single price on its help pages. To see yours, open the Dates and Fees page, pick Canada, your program type and your schools, and it shows the fees with the dates and deadlines.

  • A base testing fee, paid once for each Casper test type you take.
  • A distribution fee for each program on your list. Scores go to programs, not whole universities, so two programs at the same school count as two.
  • The fee also covers Duet, a separate short assessment, if one of your programs asks for it.

The $20 fee can be waived for a documented technical or medical issue. You can only move to a date that’s still open for your programs.

Mistakes that cost money

Fees can’t be moved to another admissions cycle, and there are no refunds for booking the wrong cycle, the wrong program or the wrong test language. You also can’t retake the same test type in the same cycle to improve your score. Check the test type each program asks for before you pay.

Help with fees

If you’ve been approved for a participating US or UK fee assistance program, such as AAMC, AACOMAS, CASPA, ADEA or a UCAS bursary, your Casper fees may be reduced or waived. You upload proof of your approval when you book. Acuity’s help pages don’t name a Canadian fee assistance program, so if you’re applying only in Canada, ask the program or Acuity support.
