Duolingo English Test

The Duolingo English Test is a modern language proficiency tool designed for today's international students and institutions. It offers an English proficiency score, video interview, and writing sample in an accessible, efficient, and secure testing experience.

Use cases

English proficiency requirement: Use the Duolingo English Test as an alternative to other standardized proficiency tests. The scores are highly correlated to those of the TOEFL and IELTS, and results are available within 48 hours.

Interview service: Review applicants' impromptu responses to random interview questions that are correlated with their ability. These are a lot less expensive than traditional interview services, but just as revealing.

Placement test: Assess language ability pre-arrival with certified scores that inform course placement or support services.

On demand: Request a Duolingo English Test result from applicants that are lacking other proficiency testing, have borderline scores, or you'd like more information about—all without changing official admissions requirements.
