In 2021, we conducted an experiment to determine whether alternative test response formats could reduce demographic differences in Casper test performance. In an effort to design a more equitable assessment for admissions, we provided Casper test takers with the option to participate in our experiment by responding to two additional scenarios using a video response format. 2,000 test takers opted to participate and the result prompted us to make changes to our Casper test. All Casper test takers for the 2022-23 application cycle will now respond using both typed and video response formats.
Check out our infographic, which offers insight into our experiment and shows how video-based response formats can help reduce demographic differences in Casper test performance.
