hello sir i am geeting practice score 90-100 i nedd to get 110-120 can you give me some advice about that ?

[@DetPrep]

Hello! Sure, You can practice dictations, it will help you with spelling and listening, a good website for that is Lingua.c om since you can practice for free, and when it comed to writing you can use Grammarly website from their website on PC, it will check your grammar and provide a score back, it should be above 72 average before you make any corrections, for the dictations on lingua, they shoild6be above 90 average listening to each two times only. Other than that be sure to inmerse in English as much as possible, I hope ir helps

Hello. I took the real test and score 115, but I need 120. I don't know how to train or improve anymore, do you have any tips?

[@user-rq8by3fk8g]

Hello, I frequently get 115-125 in practice test so can you please assist me that of If I take the real test what would be the estimate score of mines. please kindly let me know. and should I eligible to take the test? #Duolingo English Test #Duolingo #DET #practice English

[@DetPrep]

Hello, it is imposible to know, but most likely you'll get 120 averall and 110 in production. You can ask your university/company/govermental advisor of the program you want to apply if Doulingo is accepted and what score you might need, since every program is different

[@user-xj3tg7qn6d]

I am getting 115 + in practice test and sometimes it comes 125+ ..and my writing and speaking is also good but still not getting 130+ ...what should i do?? Should I take test..will i get 130+ in real one

[@DetPrep]

Hello, this practice test will mostly calculate your score based on reading and listening, so if your production (writing and Speaking) is higher than your listening and reading ot might be possible that on the real test you get 130+, however, often times the production score is lower on most real tests. So I would recommend improving a little before taking the real test unless you want to buy one real test just for curiosity and can afford paying a second or a third one. When it comes to improving, ChatGpt, grammarly and free dictations on Lingua.c om will help a lot with granmar, writing and spelling, as for vocabulary the Oxford 5000 words is a free list of vocabulary devided by levels that will help a lot, although they used the Cambridge Vocabulary guide to create the DET test, what I like about the Oxford list is that it is free and easy to download from their website. For speaking, smalltalk2me is website that you can use to test and get comprehensive feedback for your speaking, but it is free to use 3 times only, you might also listen and repeat aloud your favorite podcast a zillion times until you learn it as if you were an actor, it truly helps. Just in case I have very detailed video about how to improve on Duolingo test, it is called "Domina el examen Duolingo... ", just be aware it is in Spanish but you might enable subtitles. Last but not least, dreamydet.c om is a brand that sponsors my channel, I have been using their platform and is actually very convenient too

How to improve if I am getting practice score 110-120. I need 125-130? What should I improve? Writing, describing better the picture? What it will helps me? Thank you for your video :)

[@gloomymonday1993]

Add more high vocabulary in your writing and in speaking part just speak fluently without repeating the same words.

[@DetPrep]

Hello Alejandra, you will need to assess them one by one, but don't panick there are some tools to do that for free. For speaking you can try on smalltalk2me, you can try 3 tests for free and check if you are getting C1, for writing you can register on Grammarly.c om for free, and go to their website, it must be on PC, they have a tool to test your writring, where you can type in a short text, you should be getting 80 or above average before double cheking spelling. Also, for dictation you can try Lingua.c om , and get 88 or above avarage. In case you speak Spanish I have a video teaching how to use them in my channel, or you might also enable translated subtitles in case you want to take a look. I hope it helps ^^

hi teacher, i wanna ask your advice about how to improve my score. a week ago, i took the real test and i got 125. i also tried on the unnoficial test, i got 120-130. now, i have a week to prepare my real test. could you give me advice to get 135 or 140 within a week? is this possible? please i need your help 😭🙏

[@DetPrep]

Hello, wow, 125 is already a really high score. There is slim chance you actually get 130 just by taking it again since it has an error margin of 10 points, but being honest getting to 135 is not very likely; that's not to say you shouldn't try it though. There is a video on my KZbin channel called "Dominga el examen Duolingo..." which is in Spanish but if you enable subtitles I know it will help, since it is very comprehensive. Also, you can text me to creatrivearrow@gmail.c om and we might schedule a meeting on Google Meets for 15 minutes so I can check your case and give you specific advice. I hope you can make it

Hola Alonso , gracias por el video bien explicativo. Mira en mis exámenes de prueba estuve logrando un puntaje de 70-90, 90-100 , cuando di el examen pues tuve inconvenientes y creo que eso me puso nerviosa, al final tuve un puntaje de 80. Voy a volver a dar el examen en setiembre las primeras semanas y la institución me pide un puntaje de 120. Creo que puedo mejorar y llegar al puntaje poniendo mucho esfuerzo, pues necesito un puntaje de un intermedio avanzado. He visto los videos de Luck y menciona que un mes puede ayudar mucho, claro teniendo un entrenamiento muy intenso.

Hi, I've taken the dulingo test and received overall score 110 but my production score is 85 only.My consultants applied for the universities but they are saying i have to take the pathway program for MS because of the production score. Can you please advice me about this? Is this ok to go with pathway course or need to retake the test?

[@DetPrep]

Hello, I don't think I am the right person to provide advice on this, however I can tell you my biased opinion, so be sure to take it with a pinch of salt while you get answers from a better profile. That being said, I guess it depends on how much time you have to improve and how confident you feel with your leaning processs, I have had students who are not very comitted or they are looking just for tips and tricks instead of putting the hundreds of hours to improve at English and adhering to a schedule of autonmous study, if that is not your case, I mean, if you are fast learner and willing to study the hard and consistent way, plus you have at least 3 months to study, retaking the test might be the right choice. On the other hand, if you take a look at your progress in the past and progress is slow or you fail with a schedule of selfstudy or private lessons, the pathway is a better choice, although they are usually expensive

[@Its_Rj_Ammu]

Hello brother Can you please recommend any website or anything else for improving my writing and speaking? 🙏🏼

[@DetPrep]

Hello! Sure, for writring Grammarly from their desktop website, and Chatgpt, also lingua.c om for dictation, the last will improve your spelling a lot. And for speaking smalltalk2me but you can use it for free 3 times only. Also in case money is not and Issue Chatgpt plus, which costs 20 dollars a month is great for improving speaking from their cellphone app

[@user-jq6no9os9y]

hello, honestly my grammar is good and i also have vocab to use . my speaking is quite good. still lack in gaining score 130. please help.😢

[@DetPrep]

Hello, 130 is a really high score, I might need more information to help you better, so allow me ask you, have you taken the real exam before, if so what score did you get per skill? Also, I can tell you that practicing on the next websites usally helps a lot: grammarly.c om from their Desktop website, it gives you a score and it should be above 85 *Avarage* and doing dications on Lingua.c om for free, you should repeat them until you get above 90 each

I am getting 110-120, 115-125 and 120-130 How much i could get in real test bro?? Please reply

[@DetPrep]

Hello, It is hard to guess, but most likely you will get 120 overall, and 110 specifically on production. Keep in mind this is just a guess, you might also get 130 in general but the chances are not that high

[@VishnuRaj-dh1fr]

hello brother i have a question can you answer me day before yesterday i got 105 score in DET my consultancy applied my score in abroad university but they did not accept they need 100 in each section and 110 overall. i am weak in production and conversation my both score are 80 and 90 can i get 100 in each give me tips i booked my test after 1 day help me i need i am hopeless and demotivated nowadays 😢

[@DetPrep]

Hello, there is not much you can do in only one day, but you can practice dictations for 2 hours, one now, another at night, and this will boost your spelling accuracy and typing speed, which will increase your production score. Also try to use these words without forcing them: additionally, multiple, gorgeous, moreover, first, sencondly, relevant, they are very easy and versatily to use and will raise your score both at writing and speaking. All in all, try to provide longer answers, there is when dictations will help you with the typing speed. When you start practicing dictations be sure to be mindful of your mistakes, and repeat the dictation until you get 90% score or above. For dictations you can lingua.c om for free or Dreamydet.c om for 10 dollars, the second one is better but both of them will work. Also, do not try to fix your grammar or learn vocabulary, there is no time for that, unless you find one or two mistakes you know you usually repeat, you can fix just those 2 only. Also be sure to think and listen in English only until you take the test. Last but not least, be sure to have enough sleeping time, eat properly the food you already know works for you, and in case you are a coffee or tea drinker, consider just one right before the test. Finally, you can also ask for a Pathway program instead the test, they are usually very expensive but could be an alternative. I wish you the best of luck

I have given multiple practise test and i have received 110-130 as average.I think i have to work on speaking how to improve ,please suggest some ideas

[@DetPrep]

Hello, when it comes to speaking it depends on how much time you have to get ready, if you have just one month or so you should focus on fluency, learning discourse markers, and templates (Be awere that templates are just structures, *not memorized answers* ), as well as practicing as much as possible and listening to English several hours a day. On the other hand if you have several months you should improve your grammar and pronunciation, a great youtube website for this is called Sounds American, it has the pornunciation of the 200 most common words, you should practice with this 200 words as much as you can, and if you have enough time learning how to pronounce each consonant and vowel as well. When it comes to grammar, ChatGPT and Grammarly from their Desktop Website will help a lot. I also have a video about how to do better at DET, although it is in Spanish, in case you take a look you might enable subtitles, it is called "Domina el examen Duolingo ...) . I hope it helps

[@DetPrep]

Hello Sir, I haven't tried Gurully, thw best websited are the ones who mix real Duolingo questions with AI for the feedback, so far, the one with the best samples of real Duolingo questions that I know is dreamydet.c om although it is 11 dollars a month and it only has AI for pronunciation, so I mix it with chatgpt and grammarly.c om from PC to check the writing. When it comes to speaking Chatgpt plus (20 dollars a month) or smalltalk2me help a lot, although the last one could be used for free 3 times only. If you only need 100 overall you sre oknto take the real test know, if you need at least 100 on production you might practice a little longer or just take the real test 2 or 3 times which is better but more expensice of course. I hope it helps,

Hello, they record you with your webcam and track your eyes movement to be sure you are not doing anything you are not supposed to. They also ask you to download a piece of software before you have the test, this will check your apps running in the background, so if they find programs like Teams, Steam or any other chat apps, your test won't be valid. You cannot move the pointer out of the frame of the window either. I hope it helps

Hello, sure. But it will depend on how much time you have to get ready, if you have a very short time you should focus on impriving fluency at the speaking part, you can achive this by not overthinking the quality of the reasons and examples you provide since they afe judging the quaility of your reasons but jsut6yiur English, however your answers should be related to the questions, also learning Dicourse Markers (First, first and foremost, for example, for instance, to conclude...) and phrases to get more time to think Will help a lot, some sentences include. That's a tough questions, I have never thought about that, this is an interesting topic, Well... I am not an experte but, to conclude... On the other hand, if you have more time, improving vocabulary, spelling and pronunciation will help a lot, you can download the list of words Oxford 5000 from their website. It will help a lot, and to improve your pronunciation you can search the channel Sounds American on Yourube, it has two videos with the 200 most common words so you can practice everyday to master them, also, I have heard that Elsa App is great to improve pronuncistion but it is not for free and I have never used it.
