Getting Started with DET

The Duolingo English Test (DET) is a fast, affordable, and convenient way to prove your English proficiency for university admissions and professional opportunities worldwide. Unlike traditional tests, DET is completely online and can be taken from the comfort of your home.

Step 1: Ensure Your Equipment is Ready

Before starting the test, it is essential to check that your computer’s camera, speakers, and microphone are functioning properly. These are required to monitor your test session and ensure a smooth experience. A strong and stable internet connection is also necessary to avoid any interruptions.

Step 2: Submit Your Government-Issued ID

To verify your identity, you must submit a valid government-issued photo ID, such as a passport, driver’s license, or national identification card. This step is crucial to maintaining the test's integrity and ensuring that your results are accepted by institutions worldwide.

Step 3: Review Test Rules and Requirements

Before starting the test, you will be required to review and agree to the test rules and regulations. The Duolingo English Test has strict guidelines to prevent cheating, such as:

• You must be alone in a quiet, well-lit room.
• No headphones, notes, or external devices are allowed.
• The test must be taken in a single sitting without breaks.
• Your face and ears must be visible at all times.

Failure to follow these rules may result in your test being invalidated.

Step 4: Start Your Test with Confidence

Once your setup is complete and you have reviewed the guidelines, you can begin your test. The entire exam takes approximately 60 minutes, and results are delivered within 48 hours. With proper preparation and focus, you can achieve a competitive score and unlock exciting academic and career opportunities.
