    In the 'Read Aloud' part, the test takers will have to record themselves reading a written sentence or a statement which appears on the screen. They will then have to speak it loud and clear into the microphone. As soon as the timer starts, you will get to read the instructions for this question. Carefully look at the pauses or punctuations in the given statement so that you can halt at the commas. Only 20 seconds will be provided for the same and you can record your statement only once.

There is no fixed list of topics. DET test assesses real world language skills across reading, writing, listening, and speaking. You should practice general English usage rather than memorizing specific textbook chapters.

DET Test provides four specific subscores. Literacy checks reading and writing, while Comprehension tests listening and reading skills. Conversation measures how well you speak and listen. Production assesses your ability to write and speak. These reveal your strengths.

The test is fast. The total Duolingo English Test duration is 1 hour. It is efficient.

  • Introduction (5 mins): Setup, microphone check, and ID submission.
  • Adaptive Test (45 mins): The main graded section assessing all four skills.
  • Writing & Speaking (10 mins): Open-ended video and writing samples sent to universities.

Yes, it is important. Using a Duolingo sample paper allows you to experience the unique computer-adaptive format and practice new question types like "Interactive Writing" in a low-pressure environment. It builds speed.

However, be realistic. The sample test is much shorter (15-30 minutes) than the actual exam, so while it is great for checking your readiness, the score it gives is only an estimate and not a guarantee. Practice daily.
