About Test

How it works

The Duolingo English Test uses the latest technology to make the test accessible, accurate, and secure. The test was developed by language testing experts using artificial intelligence (AI) to offer a modern testing experience built on research.

In addition to being available online, on demand, the test is a computer adaptive test. This means that the difficulty of the test questions changes based on each test taker’s performance. You can receive an accurate score in under 1 hour of test taking.

Scores are calculated by the grading engine, which is trained to understand language ability the same way that expert human raters do.

With the help of AI, multiple human proctors detect instances of rule breaking. Results are available in 2 days and include your overall score, subscores, and writing and speaking sample. You can share this with an unlimited number of institutions for no additional cost.

GENERAL TIPS

Understand the test questions

There are some good strategies and habits that apply to all of the question types on the Duolingo English Test. They include test-taking strategies, writing tips, and speaking tips.

  • Speak loudly, clearly, and at an understandable pace.
  • You will not have a chance to re-record your response. So even if you make a mistake, just keep going.
  • Make sure you don’t submit your recording until after you have finished your entire response.
  • Just like with writing, vary your sentence structure and word choice as much as possible.
  • Use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. The Duolingo English Test accepts both American and British spelling. The only exception is the Read and Complete question type, which uses American spelling only.
  • Vary your sentence structure and word choice as much as possible. Using more diverse, sophisticated vocabulary and grammar can help you achieve a better score.
  • Use all of the time that you have available to answer a question. You will not receive a better score for answering questions faster.
  • If you can, give longer responses than is required. For example, write more than 50 words or speak longer than 30 seconds. If you are using English effectively, and your response is relevant to the question, a more developed answer could help you achieve a better score.
  • You will not be penalized for mistakes until you click NEXT to submit your answer and move on to the next item, so take the time to make any corrections. You can’t return to a question once you have clicked NEXT.
  • Try not to look at the timer too often, because it can distract you from effectively responding.
  • Leave time at the end of each question to check your response.
