ABOUT ADAPTIVE TESTING

The Duolingo English Test is a computer adaptive test, which means that the question sequence and difficulty changes for each test taker and test session. Because it is adaptive, the test has a few differences from other tests you may have taken.

Only one section

Unlike other tests, you won’t see the same types of questions grouped together. Different questions will appear one after another. You will not know which type of question will be asked next.

Varying difficulty

The difficulty of the question changes dynamically throughout the test. Therefore, some questions may seem easier or harder than others—that is normal!

Adaptive length

There is no set number of questions. The test ends when the grading engine is confident in your score.

Unique experience

The test questions draw from an extremely large pool. It is highly unlikely that you will encounter the same question twice, no matter how many times you take the exam.

How The Test Is Set Up

Once you begin the test, you’ll be guided through three different sections.

Introduction and onboarding (5 minutes)
  • Ensure your computer’s camera, speakers, and microphone are functioning properly.
  • Submit your government-issued photo ID.
  • Review the test rules and requirements.
Adaptive test (45 minutes)
  • Measures your English skills through a series of different question types.
  • Test questions are administered randomly.
  • Question difficulty changes based on your performance.
Writing Sample and Speaking Sample (10 minutes)
  • You will be given a prompt and asked to respond at length.
  • The Speaking Sample allows for a 1–3 minute response, and the Writing Sample allows for a 3–5 minute response.
  • You will be able to review your responses to these samples after the test has concluded. Institutions that receive your results will also receive these samples. The Speaking Sample is an unscored question.
