What is the procedure for the Duolingo English test?
The Duolingo English Test is an online exam that evaluates your reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.
- Take the test from home using a computer with a camera, microphone, and speakers.
- Choose a quiet, well-lit room and have a valid photo ID ready.
- Register on the official Duolingo English Test website and pay the fee ($70 USD, subject to change).
- On test day, verify your ID and scan your room for security.
- The main test lasts about 45 minutes and adapts to your answers.
- Complete short writing and speaking samples (these are sent to institutions but not scored).
- Results are typically available within 48 hours.
- You can send your scores to unlimited institutions at no extra cost.
If you need help with registration or preparation, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
