  Hi Meseret. I would suggest doing a Duolingo evaluation with us so we can see how to best help you.

Hi Josh,
I have taken your Udemy course and completed all modules, but I was stuck with a 105 score. However, I need 120 overall, which I need to improve my score within a shorter duration; additionally, I got a conditional offer, so I need to submit my score to the university. Please guide me to where I’m lagging, and please inform me if you’re doing any crash courses for this test or if anyone is doing it. I appreciate your response; thanks in advance.

  Hi Anjan, thanks for your question. Sorry to hear are having trouble getting to 120. The best suggestion would be to do a 30 minute evaulation with us. This way, it might be easier to see which part of the test you need to focus on.

Hi, I have two questions about the Duolingo Test from a student. I was wondering whether you can help… Will you be penalised for not using American English (colour/color, organised/organized)? Are there any concessions to help a student with dyslexia? I would really appreciate your response or the contact of someone I can ask.

  Thank you for your questions. My understanding of both American and British English will be considered correct, I believe there are accommodations for students with certain special needs. The best course of action would be to contact Duoling and ask them what documentation you would have to provide.

Hello, could you please respond me that what is my level? I received 90-110 in the free Duolingo English test.

  Hi Banin, Thanks for your question. It is important to say that a practice test won’t always give accurate results, especially with speaking. That being said, your score would suggest your level of English is somewhere between intermediate and upper intermediate.

Sir, I would love to ask what the overall score you need to pass the DET is exactly?

  Thank you for your question. There is no set score. The institution you are applying to will set its own guidelines. Please make sure to check with them. Thank you 🙂

Josh, good morning. I got 85 – 95 on the practice test. What does it mean? I mean, My level in the test?

- Josh on January 11, 2024 at 7:06 AM
  Thanks for your question. 85-95 is giving you a general range, but this does not mean this will always be your score. Practice tests can often differ wildly from real results. If you do score in this range, it means your level of English would be classified as intermediate. Hope this helps. 🙂

Hello. I wanna know if the laptop’s installed microphone is enough or if I should plug in an extra. I’m planning on taking the Duolingo test by the end of this week so please answer me as soon as you can.

  Hi Angel, Thanks for reaching out. For technical questions, especially about sound, you need to check with the test company directly. I believe they may offer a sound test on your device.

Do I need to turn on the microphone throughout the test? And is the first letter compulsory to be capitalized?
Reply
- Josh on November 13, 2023 at 8:13 AM
  Hi, thanks for the question. Yes, the microphone must be on. If you are asking about the first letter of a sentence, then yes, it must be capitalized.

Hi Josh, I took the test, but my results were not certified. It says it’s invalid because it was evident that I was reading a response that had been written out. However, I located a mirror behind me to display that there is no paper, and I follow the rules. Should I retake the test, and if yes, what should I prevent invalid result like this. Or should I contact Duolingo and explain my situation?
Also, in my free practice, I scored 110-145. What would be my estimate overall score on the real test? I need a minimum of 120 overall.

  Thanks very much for your question. We mainly teach test strategy but have no way of knowing how and why Duolingo may decide to invalidate your score. The best thing to do is contact Duolingo directly and explain your situation. Ask them explicitly how they came to the conclusion you were reading and how you can avoid this in the future. They are in a much stronger position to give you advice than we are. Hope this helps.

Hey Josh,
I took the exam three times at 1st one I got 90 the 2nd was 95 and the last one was 100. I need much higher score especially in the production sub score. Any advice?

  Hi teacher Josh,
  I had a problem with the Duolingo practice test. I always get 95-135 or 85-135; my last attempt was 80-130, even though I write more than 100 words and speak more than 1 minute. What do you suggest to do to increase my score on the practice test?

I took the Duolingo test once. But i got only 90 score. But I need 120. So how will I get a good score?

  Thank you for your question. It is difficult to know what areas you need to work on without seeing your test results broken down by category. Please consider doing a trial lesson with us so we can go through your test together and maybe make a plan.

Are Speaking and Writing still not contributing to the final grade?
Reply
- Josh on July 19, 2023 at 7:35 AM
  Speaking and Writing certainly do contribute to the final grade. The main area where this is reflected is in the production score. I hope this answers your question, but if not, please feel free to clarify.

Hello
I took two times DET but both of them wasn’t accepted and told me you were with through from camera, but I was in my specific place in front of camera and I want to ask that I will take it for the third time I don’t know how I can take points and acceptance because according to all guidance, I saw to screen and no problem Was there. If you have any guidance to pass my this test to accepted please tell me.

  Hi Malalai, We provide test-taking strategies for the DET, but TST Prep does not administer the test. As such there is no way for us to tell what the technical problem was. I strongly suggest contacting the DET customer service and explaining your situation. Ask for specific advice as to how you can avoid this problem the third time.

Hi Josh,
I took the DET practice test but I was under the impression that they would give you with a predicted score in the end. They don’t, do they?
Reply
- Josh on July 10, 2023 at 7:18 AM
  Hi Taha, it depends on what site you took the practice test. Can you give me more information about where you took the test? Also, please keep in mind that the DET practice tests will give you a huge range of predicted scores because no person is listening to your speaking or checking your writing, so I don’t find them very helpful.

  Hello
  How is the overall score calculated?
  For example, I got 105, 120, 125, and 135 in all four parts, and my overall score was 125. If We sum all of them and divide by four, it doesn’t equal 125.

    Hi,
    The scores are not averaged equally. Some categories, like production, count more towards the overall score. For more information, you can check out this great article on the test. https://tstprep.com/articles/det/your-beginners-guide-to-the-duolingo-english-test/#good-score

  Hi Joana, the test conditions for DET are subject to change, so it is best to contact DET and ask them directly to make sure you have the most up-to-date information.

Hi sir, I took the exam 4 times, but it’s still an invalid test.
1) look away
2) security
3) security
4) writing error
How can I get a result?
I am feeling very stressed because of the invalid test. What can I do?

  Hi Nikhar, you would need to check with Duolingo directly to see what is causing these errors.

  You will need to check with Duolingo directly about this question. This is because special accommodations may vary on a case-by-case basis.

  I have a problem with my connection. Is it okay to use Dongle? Because I don’t have a WiFi Connection.

    Thanks for the question. I am not familiar with Dongle. Please check with DET directly to see if they will allow it.
