Format of Duolingo English Test (Detailed)

Detailed Description of the duolingo exam pattern is as follows ;

Introduction and Induction

The system will test the functionality of your camera, microphone, and speakers during the Introduction and Onboarding stage. Also, you must present a government-issued ID for validation. Before proceeding to the graded phase, the Adaptive Test, you will also go over the rules and regulations of the exam.

Adaptive Test

The adaptive test part of the Duolingo English exam evaluates your responses to the questions to determine your command of the English language. Moreover, questions in the adaptive test phase are not assigned precise numbers. Before the Test is finished, the AI determines whether you have adequately answered all the questions. As a result your score is calculated by the AI using the subscores that the test assigns, such as literacy, comprehension, dialogue, and production.

Video Interview (Unranked)

Your writing and English speaking fluency is evaluated in this ungraded section as you get 30 seconds to select a question to respond to. You might be asked to give a brief description of a picture, discuss a specific scenario, or talk for a few minutes about a certain subject. For the video-speaking portion, you get three minutes, and the written sample take five minutes.
