Casper test for 2026 DH&T admissions

1

Does anyone who wants to do dental hygiene and therapy now when we are suppose to do the Casper Test for 2026 admissions. I’ve seen lots of Unis ask for the Casper test instead of the UCAT for dental hygiene and therapy but I’m not sure when I’m supposed to do it

Hey, there are only 3 days available to sit this test. One date in December 2025 and 9th and 15th of January 2026. Not all unis require it. U have to apply through acuity insights.

Do the test days matter, the earlier you do it the higher the chance of you getting onto the course?

Hello, I am abit late to the conversation! I have already sent my UCAS application, however while booking my casper exam the last possible date is the 5th of FEB (assuming that would still be acceptable for universities). Would I still have a fair chance and be considered for the interview same as the poeple taking exam early such as December?

heyy sorry for the late reply, the 5th was a new date that universities added so you should be fine, im pretty sure most casper unis started to reply mid feb/ start of march so dont worry they received ur result before starting interviews

Hi,

Just to confirm if anyone is reading this for the next cycle - taking the CASPer test earlier doesn't give you a scoring advantage.

The way it works is that CASPer scores are reported as quartiles relative to everyone who took the test for the same program cycle (4th being the highest) - so you're being compared to the full applicant pool regardless of when you sit the test.

The main practical reason to book early is just to have flexibility — if something goes wrong (tech issues, illness, life), you have time to reschedule. Most programs also have CASPer score submission deadlines tied to their own application deadlines, so you want to make sure your results are reported in time.

Worth double-checking the specific deadline for each program you're applying to on the Acuity Insight website, as they can vary.

Best of luck to anyone who takes the test.

Hi guys! I’ve just been accepted at Newcastle and UCLAN To do hygiene and therapy. So happy and grateful but obviously a difficult decision to make on where to study. What are people’s suggestions?

Hi @Heals1064,

Firstly congratulations on your offers and it's fantastic to hear that you've received an offer from us! 🎉

It's completely understandable that you are feeling this way about deciding which university to choose, I remember feeling the exact same. If you can attend any Offer holder days, Open days and campus tours this is a brilliant way to get a feel for what life will be like for you over these next few years at university. It allows you to dive deeper into your course and meet with current students and academics to ask any questions you have. It's important when making your decision to choose what feels right for you.

If you have any questions about our course or life here as a student that I can help with, do let me know 😊

Whatever your decision, I wish you all the best.
