Duolingo English Test
The Duolingo English Test (DET) is an online English proficiency exam by Duolingo, designed to assess vocabulary, pronunciation, fluency, comprehension, and grammar through interactive exercises. Growing in global popularity, the DET is accepted by many universities and employers worldwide, including top institutions like Duke, Yale, and Columbia.
The test adapts dynamically, meaning question types and difficulty levels vary throughout, ensuring a reliable measure of English skills. This adaptive nature of the DET makes it similar to other widely recognized English exams, such as the PTE and IELTS.
