Can I Get a Self-Paced DET Course, or Is Live Coaching the Only Option?

This is worth knowing before you shop around, because LeapScholar's other exam products, IELTS and PTE, both offer a cheap self-paced tier, and assuming DET works the same way leads to a confusing checkout experience when that option is not there.

How the DET Structure Actually Works

• Step one: a free masterclass, open before any payment.
• Step two: live, teacher-led coaching only, there is no self-paced (LIY-style) tier for DET.
• What live coaching includes: 20+ hours of classes, personalized feedback across all four modules, and up to 6 months of support.
• Turnaround: results within 48 hours of each practice session.

Why There Is No Self-Paced Option Here

DET blends four skills into a single adaptive test with interactive question types, and LeapScholar positions live, expert feedback as necessary to catch mistakes a self-paced video course would leave unaddressed, particularly given its role as an official Duolingo Platinum Partner. This is a deliberate structural choice, not a missing feature, and it differs from how LeapScholar builds its IELTS and PTE courses.

How This Compares to LeapScholar's Other Exam Courses

Both the IELTS and PTE courses on LeapScholar offer a low-cost self-paced tier alongside a live option, starting as low as Rs.99 and Rs.199 respectively. DET is the exception in the lineup, which is worth knowing if you are budgeting across multiple exams at once, since you cannot substitute a cheaper self-paced DET plan the way you can for the other two.

My Advice

If you specifically want a cheap self-study option, start with the free masterclass and Duolingo's own free practice test to build a baseline without spending anything. Move to the Rs.5,000 to Rs.6,000 live tier only once you know exactly which of the four modules is holding your score back.
