Is Duolingo Sample Paper actually helpful for preparation?

Kanika Shukla

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.
