Duolingo English Test - ALL YOU MUST KNOW!

[@AustinTKelly]

Hi all, okay, so I got a score of 125 on DET, my first time taking it, and I believe I can share some valuable tips that helped me (these are not official tips, just some strategies that helped me). - I think the key for this exam is to be as relaxed as possible. Try to take the practice exam multiple times, even if the questions start getting repetitive. It is the best way to get yourself familiar with the test format. - I would suggest going on Google and selecting a random picture and then set your timer for about 2 minutes and start describing the picture. - Also, for the section with given random prompts, I suggest googling random themes to talk about, setting your timer and talking about the prompt/question for about two-three minutes. Or if you need to write a mini essay on some question, then set your timer for about 4 minutes and start typing immediately. This way you will become more comfortable on the actual exam, trust me.. Anyways, they were helpful to me, and hopefully they might help someone else! feel free to comment

I did the Duolingo English test recently and got a score of 135. Prior to taking the test, I practiced three times on the practice tests, scoring 115-135, 115-130 and 120-130. This is just to say that the scoring estimate of the practice test might end up being somewhat off from your actual test score - in this case to my favour, but it could probably also overestimate your score. Beyond taking the practice tests, I prepared myself for the test by watching English-speaking movies and reading English novels. I would practice pronouncing words and also write down small analyses of the stories. In total I prepared for ~1 week.

Can you please provide some tips for writing section, especially write from image?

[@armynouser6089]

*Top tips below* that I have collected to help all of you guys: [Edit 1: You can ask me whatever you want in the replies, today I received my scores :)! ] 1) *Type the statement that you hear* : The accents that you hear are American, if you’re not familiar with this accent then start watching American TV and film or listening to an American podcast. 2) *Record yourself saying a given statement* : Record yourself saying short sentences and listening back to them to see if you can improve your pronunciation. You can check online for the specific pronunciation of words you are practicing to make sure they are correct. 3) *Speak the English word for each image* : *DO NOT* say "This is a... " but prefer to say only the word e.g. "Penguin". This section is asking you for the word, not for your speaking capabilities. And, record yourself saying short sentences and listening back to them to see if you can improve your pronunciation. You can check online for the specific pronunciation of words you are practicing to make sure they are correct. 4) *Write 1 sentence about the given image* : The more you are able to write in the short amount of time given, the higher mark you would receive. 5) *Prepare to speak for a given picture for 3 minutes* : *First* , try to talk generally on what you see e.g. "In this picture I can see a lady on a bench". *Second* , be more specific, using the "on the right/ on the left/ at the bottom" e.g. "Next to her, on the right, I can see... " *Third* , try to guess e.g. "I can see a restaurant behind her, so probably she is waiting for her date" *Final* , you can talk about your emotions that have been created by the picture e.g. "This picture makes me feel peaceful because... " I hope I helped you all. Good luck!!

I practiced 3 times, and i got around 110-150 in almost every test. I took the actual test 3 days ago and I got my results today. My score is 140/160. Just go for it. Main tips: - Never submit anything, always go over everything - Try to be as quick as you can so you have time to review - what you say doesn’t really matter as long as you are staying relevant to the topic (content), but how you say it does matter (how you express yourself and formulate sentences) -If you’re not sure of a certain word don’t try to guess it, only pick the ones you know are real 100%

@@mirzatodorovac6236 Some of the questions were sooo weird.. I had to talk about the safety regulations for construction workers for example xD Also the photos were you have to name the object get a little more abstract. I'd say it's about 30% harder and I always got 125-160 points in the practice test.

[@mirzatodorovac6236]

@@TheMissZuckie thank you for this short update... one more question, section with words? Was it hard? I'm in similar situation like you, because I was ready to take TOEFL, but with all this situation there is now way to pull that on time..

[@TheMissZuckie]

@Mirza Todorovac ehh, the first two were pretty easy however the last two were a little tricky. I'd say they are about the same difficulty level as the slightly more difficult ones you get in the practice tests. Just enter as many words as you know and If you don't know a word just leave it blank. Like the dude said, if the questions get harder you are doing well. Also, it seems like they don't really care about WHAT you say during the speaking parts only HOW you say it. (I got 140/160, that's 118/120= on the TOEFL scale, and I thought I did super bad because the things I said during the speaking part were ... not so.. inspiring) So I suggest you make yourself a little template you can memorize. For example, when they ask for your opinion, you could say, "The statement discusses (insert general topic of the statement). In my opinion (this or that) is better and there are several reasons why I think so. The first one is ...... In addition...... Lastly..." That also works for the writing parts. You don't have to use fancy words; it's more important that you get your point across clearly. It's also okay if you don't know a term for an object. For example, they showed me an eggplant, and I forgot the word for it, so I just said "vegetable". I also forgot the name for "button-down shirt" so I said "clothing". If you don't know the word, just use a general description.

[@englishwithmina4900]

You could think about a typical way of starting, something like "while others may not I agree, I believe that ..." Perhaps having a ready made idea for how you could start could help you with the anxiety of looking at the blank box and thinking about how to start. Also, Try to remember that for any statement you make you could add 2 reasons why you believe that. Firstly..., Secondly... this will help you structure your writing and develop your argument. What do you think?

@@zainubalam3140 I was already preparing for the TOEFL but my University changed its requirements. I just took the practice test a few times and on the same day I took the test. In the speaking questions they ask you to speak about a photo or a topic for 3 to 5 minutes I believe. Just say everything you see and try to say as much as you can about every small detail. In my picture there was a car accident and I took about the street, the cars, lighting, I described people in the picture and their clothes. I spoke for just 3 minutes (I would recommend to speak for 5 minutes if you can) but in my case I knew I had to score just 110 to get accepted into my University and I wanted to be done ASAP.
