Introduction to the Duolingo English Test (DET)
Before discussing the Duolingo Preparation Course, it is important to understand what the Duolingo English Test (DET) is.
The Duolingo English Test is an adaptive international English proficiency exam designed to assess an individual’s overall command of the English language. The results of this test are accepted by many universities, educational institutions, and organizations around the world.
The test gained global recognition during the COVID-19 pandemic, as it allowed candidates to take the exam remotely from home using a computer and an internet connection. Its popularity has continued even after the pandemic due to its flexibility, accessibility, and affordability.
One of the main advantages of the Duolingo test compared to exams like IELTS and TOEFL is its lower cost. The Duolingo test typically costs around $60, and candidates who wish to take it twice can pay only $98. In comparison, the IELTS and TOEFL exams cost approximately $230 and $265, respectively.
Another key benefit is the faster result processing time — Duolingo scores are available within 48 hours of taking the test. For those who need results urgently, an express service is available that delivers results in 24 hours for an additional fee.
A further advantage is the flexibility in scheduling — the Duolingo test can be taken anytime, 24/7, without the need to reserve a specific time slot.
Additionally, the Duolingo English Test uses an adaptive testing system, meaning the difficulty of questions changes based on your performance. If you answer correctly, the following questions become more challenging; if you answer incorrectly, the next ones will be easier. This adaptive structure allows Duolingo to evaluate language proficiency more accurately than traditional exams like IELTS or TOEFL.
