Test overview
What is the Duolingo English Test?
The Duolingo English Test (DET) is an English proficiency test that some institutions accept as evidence of English ability. It is delivered online, but acceptance, required results and conditions are set by each university or organisation.
Before choosing a test, confirm that your specific institution accepts the DET for your course, intake and application type. Check whether it sets a minimum overall result, section-level requirements or additional conditions.
Always check official requirements first. Acceptance and test conditions may vary and can change. Verify the latest information with your chosen institution and the official Duolingo English Test website before registering or paying.
