CASPer Test –Undergraduate Teacher Entry in 2019
The CASPer test is an online screening tool designed to evaluate key personal and professional characteristics that make for successful students and graduates. Traditional evaluations of personal characteristics (e.g. standard interviews, reference letters, and personal essays) have shown to be ineffective in discerning good applicants. CASPer increases fairness in applicant evaluation by providing admissions and selection committees with a reliable measure of traits like professionalism, ethics, communication, and empathy.
Institutions using CASPer results for 2019 are:
Australian Catholic University
Deakin University Federation University
La Trobe University
Monash University
RMIT University
Swinburne University
Victoria University
Test date options are below:
25 September. 8.00pm
14 October. 1.00pm
29 November. 6.00pm
