All Allied Health Sciences programs have Casper as part of their admissions process.
What is Casper?
Casper is a selection tool used by academic programs to help assess applicants for non-academic attributes or people skills. The Casper test is completed online.
Casper is a form of situational judgement test. Situational judgement tests are a type of psychological test which presents the test-taker with realistic, hypothetical scenarios and may ask the individual what they would do in the dilemma and why they would do it. Situational judgement tests tend to determine behavioral tendencies, assessing how an individual will behave in a certain situation, and knowledge instruction, which evaluates the effectiveness of possible responses. Once the Casper is completed, the applicant is rated in predetermined areas using a rubric and rating scale. In the end, the scores from all questions are totaled for an overall score for each applicant. Your scores are sent to Red River College Polytechnic by Casper. Applicants are then ranked accordingly and offered a seat in the program.
Casper Test: The Casper test is 90 - 110 minutes in length and is comprised of 2 sections containing typed and video responses. The final Casper test date for applicants for Fall 2024 admission is April 9, 2024.
