Duolingo English Test Overview
The Duolingo English Test is a fully computer-based exam designed to assess a candidate’s Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking abilities. It uses computer adaptive technology to adjust the difficulty level based on the individual’s responses. The test includes a video interview and a writing sample, which are not graded but are sent to institutions alongside your proficiency score when you report the results.
