Duolingo English Test (DET)
If you are pursuing an undergraduate or postgraduate program abroad, you may have noticed that the requirements always include some qualifications for the English language. However, not all qualifications are valid for submission. The majority of institutions accept TOEFL or IELTS certification. Recently though, you have a third option, that of the Duolingo proficiency exam in English. In this article, we are to inform you about everything you need to know about this certification!
What is the Duolingo English Test?
The Duolingo English Test is an English proficiency test that will determine your level of understanding of the English language. This test is an excellent way to showcase your ability in English as it uses a very adaptive system. In essence, if you are answering correctly, the question will gradually become harder. If, however, you pick the wrong answers the test will provide you with easier questions. Thus, the system can determine your level with high accuracy.
The Duolingo English Test fulfils admissions requirements for international applicants at many universities in the world. Unlike the TOEFL and IELTS, the Duolingo English Test is taken on demand, from your computer.

What does the Duolingo Exam Include?
The Duolingo English test is much like all the other foreign language exams you have taken. In more detail, it will test your ability in reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Within the examination, you will need to listen and pick the correct words or write down the statements that you are listening to. You will also test your vocabulary by choosing the correct words, as picking out the words that fit the text the best. Moreover, you will be required to record yourself reading a sentence and answering questions given to you. Lastly, you will be asked to respond in 500 words to a question that will be given to you..

Video Interview
All of the above count for the overall score of the exams. The Duolingo test though has another task, that of a video interview. In this task, you will pick a topic among the two choices given to you, and then you will talk about it for 3 minutes. This task doesn’t count for your grade, even though it will be sent to the institutions you prefer along with the test results.
How is the Exam Scored and When do you Get the Result?
The results of Duolingo English test only indicate your level in English. The scoring of the exam is performed by computers, even though there are proctors, as well. This way, you can rest assured that the grades are considered with great care. You can see the score interpretation, as is given by the official Duolingo website.
After you have taken the test, you will receive your results in just 2 days. This means that you can easily arrange to retake the exams, in case you want to improve your score. However, you can only take the test twice per month.
