How many subscores will I get on my Duolingo English Test, and what do they cover?

Your Duolingo English Test score report gives you eight subscores in total, not just four. These split into four Individual Subscores for Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening, plus four Integrated Subscores that combine skills in different ways. Understanding this breakdown helps you see exactly where your strengths and gaps lie.

Duolingo English Test Subscore Breakdown

What Each Integrated Subscore Measures

• Literacy: your combined ability to read and write.
• Comprehension: your combined ability to listen and read.
• Conversation: your combined ability to speak and listen.
• Production: your combined ability to write and speak.

My Advice

Check your subscores individually, not just your overall total, since some universities set separate minimums for specific skills, and a weak subscore could affect your application even if your overall score looks strong enough.
