    The adaptive section of the Duolingo exam tests your English skills through different types of questions.

     

    Unlike other language proficiency tests, the Duolingo English Test is a computer-based, adaptive exam. This means that the order and difficulty of the questions adjust based on your performance as you progress. Here’s how it works:
     

    • Easy: Questions get simpler if you’re struggling.
    • Difficult: Questions get difficult if you’re doing well.

    • Notice how the speakers interact. How would two students talk to each other? How would a teacher and a student have a conversation?

    • Watch the timer carefully. Start with the basics: Who was speaking? What was the conversation about? What was the outcome?

     

    • Use your time wisely to provide a detailed summary. If you finish early, review your summary to fix any errors.


     

    Here are some things to keep in mind about question types:
     

    • All questions are integrated into a single section, so different questions will pop up one after the other. You won’t know what the next question will be.
       
    • There’s no set number of questions. The test will keep going until the grading engine is confident of your score.
       
    • The test questions are drawn from an extremely vast pool. It’s highly unlikely that you will face the same question twice, no matter how many times you take the exam.

    The good news:

    You won’t be penalised more for entering an incorrect response compared to skipping the question. If your answer isn’t entirely correct, you’ll still receive partial credit.

    For instance, in the Read and Complete section, you’ll get the same score for a blank response or an incorrect one. For Listen and Type, missing a word will cost you more than typing it incorrectly.

    In other words, it’s worth giving every question a shot!

    My favourite teacher was Mrs. Sharma, who taught English in high school. I liked her passion for the subject and how she made literature interesting.

    I believe the local government should build a public park. A park offers a natural space for relaxation and exercise, benefiting people of all ages. It promotes community interaction, provides a safe area for children to play, and enhances the beauty of the area. Moreover, parks contribute to environmental well-being by preserving green spaces. (Word count: 54 words)

    Speaking

    Sample Question 1
     

    Question Type: Read, Then Speak
     

    Speak about the topic below for 90 seconds.

     

    Topic: Talk about a hobby or activity that you enjoy doing.
    • What is it?
    • How long have you been doing it?
    • Who do you do it with?
    • Why is it important to you?

     

     

    Sample Answer 1

     

    One hobby that I really enjoy is gardening. I've been gardening for about five years, starting with a few potted plants on my balcony and expanding to a garden in my backyard. While I usually do it alone, my family members, especially my kids, sometimes join me in planting and watering. Gardening provides me with a sense of peace and relaxation, helping me unwind after busy days.

     

    Gardening is important to me because it allows me to connect with nature and appreciate its beauty. Growing my own vegetables and herbs is rewarding and they taste fresher than store-bought ones. Additionally, gardening has taught me patience and the importance of nurturing, lessons that I apply to other areas of my life. Overall, it’s a fulfilling activity that brings joy and satisfaction.

     

    Sample Question 2

     

    Question Type: Speak about the photo
     

    Speak for 30 seconds about the image below.  


     

     

     

    Sample Answer 2


     

    The image shows an older woman using a sewing machine to work on embroidery. She is very focused as she carefully stitches lovely patterns onto the fabric. The bright colours and detailed designs suggest a high level of skill and dedication. This activity appears to be both a creative outlet and a way to preserve traditional craftsmanship.


     

    Sample Question 3


     

    Question Type: Read, Then Speak
     

    Speak about the topic below for 90 seconds.


     

    Topic: Talk about a gift that you gave to someone recently.
    • What was it?
    • Who did you give it to?
    • How did it make you feel?
    • Why did you give it to this particular person?

     

    Sample Answer 3


     

    I recently gave a hand-crafted photo album to my best friend. It was a collection of memories from our time together—photos from trips, events, and special moments. I gave it to her on her birthday because I wanted to show her how much she means to me and to celebrate the journey we’ve shared. Seeing her happy and touched when she opened it made me feel really good. It was a personal and meaningful gift, and I thought it was a great way to celebrate her special day.

    Listening

    Sample Question 1


    Question Type: Listen and Type

     

    Type the statement that you hear.

    Sample Question 2

     

    Question Type: Listen, Then Speak
     

    Speak about the topic for 90 seconds.

     

    0:00

     

     

    Sample Answer 2

     

    My favourite animal is the dog. Dogs are loyal, friendly, and very intelligent creatures. They come in various breeds, each with its own unique traits and characteristics, but generally, they are known for their companionship and playful nature.

     

    I love dogs because they form strong bonds with humans and can be very affectionate. They’re always excited to see you, which makes coming home feel really special. Dogs are also very protective of their owners, often alerting them to potential dangers. Additionally, they can be trained to perform various tasks, from simple tricks to helping those with disabilities.

     

    Another reason I like dogs is because they encourage an active lifestyle. Walking or playing with a dog ensures that you get regular exercise. Their playful energy and joyful spirit can be very uplifting, providing emotional support and reducing stress. In short, dogs are not just pets; they become a beloved part of the family.
