Free CASPer Practice Test: 3 Timed Scenarios
This free CASPer practice set gives you three realistic typed-response scenarios with two questions each. Use the current 3.5-minute shared timer for each pair, then compare your reasoning with the review prompts. The standard 2026–2027 test is longer—11 scenarios across video and typed sections—so use this page as a focused diagnostic before attempting a full simulation.

Is this CASPer practice test really free?+
Yes. You can work through the scenarios and model answers at no cost. The paid CasperCoach tools add unlimited scenarios and instant AI feedback, but the practice test itself is free.
How closely does this match the real CASPer?+
The scenarios and two-question typed sets practise the same judgment and communication demands. This page is a three-scenario diagnostic, not a full-length replica. The standard 2026–2027 test has four video and seven typed scenarios.
How long should I spend on the practice test?+
Use 3.5 minutes for each two-question typed scenario. Complete all three response windows in 10.5 minutes, with only brief prompt-reading and reflection time between them.
Should I read the model answers before or after I respond?+
Write your own answer first, then compare. Reading the model answer cold teaches you less than seeing where your own response was strong or thin.
How many practice tests should I do before the real CASPer?+
There is no evidence-based fixed number. Repeat full timed sets until you can answer both typed questions, deliver organized one-minute video answers, and identify a concrete improvement after each review.
