Duolingo English Test Coaching
The Duolingo English Test is taken online at home, takes about an hour, costs much less than IELTS or TOEFL, and reports results within two days. Thousands of universities accept it for admission, particularly in the US, Canada and the UK.
The test
It is adaptive: questions get harder or easier as you answer. Tasks are short and varied, such as completing missing letters in text, describing an image aloud and in writing, and listening and typing. There is also a recorded speaking and writing sample sent to universities. Scores run from 10 to 160.
What to know
- It is for university admission, not immigration. Canada, Australia and the UK do not accept it for PR or work visas.
- Check each university, and whether the visa for that country needs a different test even if the university accepts Duolingo.
- Test rules are strict. You must be alone, with your camera on, and looking at the screen. Results are cancelled for rule breaches.
