=============================
There is no speaking section in the Duolingo English Test, but there are questions where you must speak:
Speak About the Photo
Read, Then Speak
Listen, Then Speak
After working with thousands of students, I have uncovered seven common mistakes students make on speaking questions for proficiency tests like Duolingo.

[@nestorperozo5558]

Hello sir, In my opinion, there are a lot of mistakes that we probably do during the exam, but we don't notice at all. It could be because of the anxiety of give a good score. Moreover, I strongly recommend you that TST prep has a sample test platform with all the questions and answers in order to prepare ourselves better and succeed in this tough and stressful exam. Anyway, I hope you are doing very well and that you take my advice

Hey Josh why the MIT has set the criteria of toefl as 100+ on the other hand 135+ for the Duolingo English Test which is equivalent to 110+ in toefl? Please check it out. My brain has stopped working.

[@sierre00]

that's the magic of duolingo and why duolingo will soon prevail and replace toefl. my duolingo is 135, ielts 7.5, haven't taken toefl yet, but I know for certain that my toefl would be nowhere near 110. if anyone can easily pass duolingo for a much lower price and less effort, what is the point of taking toefl? duolingo is the future!

Hello sir, I have given Duolingo test but received uncertified result. As they are saying I have used any written out samples during speaking. But, believe me sir, I have not used any unfair means and focused on the screen only. So, please tell me the right way of speaking to get certified result.

[@DEThelp]

Hi there and sorry to hear about your situation. If they said, " have used any written out samples during speaking" make sure you make eye contact with the camera while speaking and speak in a comfortable and natural manner. Be sure not to use any memorized response, but instead focus on answering the question naturally. I hope that helps and good luck.

[@ilkecanberi2432]

I took the practice test on duolingo maybe 20 times. I still cant understand; At the end of it I get 115-125 all the time and Im really wondering if the points for the part that we are talking about a topic for 90 seconds or the part we are telling what we see in the image include to 115-125??? Like how the computer can score these parts ? Or that score includes just the writing and chosing sections ? Please make it clear to me I will take the test in two weeks so Im getting the practice test everyday minimum 3 times and watching your videos here and I must get at least 105 from the real test.

Hello, Sir; I have taken the test for 2 times. At my first attempt they emailed me that you have been reading a response that had been prepared already, and on my second attempt they said you looked away even though I didn’t look away for a second and I gave all response in speaking from my mind not from a paper and that is not possible as well to cheat in front of camera. I am really disappointed now Where should I look ? To the camera or to the screen ?

I got bad result in literacy and production score. I will take the exam again next week.which part i should focus to get better result?

[@DEThelp]

Hi there and thank you for reaching out. Sorry to hear you couldn't get your score. I would focus on the production score part since you are in control of your reading and writing responses, whereas the literacy questions depend on the vocabulary you already know. If you still need help after the second attempt, I would suggest working with a teacher or trying a course at TST Prep. I'll put the link below. Good luck! tstprep.com/store/

duolingo is a scam,they uncertified my exam by giving me same reason 6/7 times.

[@hhwgroup786]

Did they refunded the money??

[@jozefkvokacka8433]

I was disqualified because I had paper and pen on my table. During the test I did not look at that paper which is recorded. Was I tested for algebra or English language? Why Duolingo does not have live proctors who would remind me what objects they do not want to see on my table or around me? This approach is unfair and because refund it not possible, I consider this service as FRAUD.

[@shamalalo8122]

Hi sorry about the issue, I am one of the test taker, it is not fraud, the thing is if you read the test information before taking the test, these things are mentioned to not put anything near you. I dot know u are disqualified for ever or just one test, wish u all the best

[@junepassingthrouthegate8810]

The test rules mention that you can't have pen/pencil and paper on your desk. I don't know how they know you have those objects there, but anyway, you can't.
