Duolingo English Test (DET) — Duolingo

The Duolingo English Test is an adaptive, online English proficiency test about an hour long that universities and other institutions accept. It reports an overall score from 10 to 160 and four subscores; there is no pass mark, and each institution sets its own minimum. SummitCert offers a study aid with 1000 flashcards, 350 practice questions and a timed 80-question practice set that covers the multiple-choice-style tasks; it is not a simulation of the adaptive test.
