What is the Duolingo Test

The Duolingo test assesses all levels of English language proficiency, and you can use the results for work or study purposes abroad. An increasing number of universities, employers, and institutions worldwide recognize Duolingo test scores.

Duolingo test structure

The Duolingo test is taken from the comfort of your home or any other place with a good internet connection. To access the exam, you must have a camera, speakers, and a microphone on your computer. The test assesses writing, reading, listening, speaking, and correct use of the English language, and the test itself consists of three parts:

ā€“A brief 5-minute introduction where you receive instructions and rules for taking the test.
ā€“A 45-minute adaptive test that assesses your English language skills (excluding speaking).
ā€“A 10-minute video interview used to evaluate speaking proficiency

All parts are taken in sequence without a break. The assessed components include:

LiteracyĀ ā€“ the ability to read and write,
ComprehensionĀ ā€“ the ability to understand through listening and reading,
Conversation ā€“ the ability to understand through listening and speaking
ProductionĀ ā€“ the ability to express in writing and speaking.

The total test duration is 60 minutes.

Section Duration Task Type
Listening (sluŔanje) 30 minutes + 10 minutes for transferring answers to the answer sheet Listen to 4 conversations or lectures and answer questions.
Reading (čitanje) 60 minutes Read 3 ā€“ 5 texts and answer questions.
Writing (pisanje eseja) 60 minutes (20 + 40 minutes) One essay is a response to a given topic (at least 150 words), and the other involves expressing your own opinion on a provided topic (at least 250 words).
Speaking (usmeni dio) 11-14 minutes There are three types of tasks: in the first, you introduce yourself and speak about yourself
in the second, you receive a card with a topic and speak for 2 minutes (after 1 minute of preparation) and answer the examiner's questions
in the third part, the examiner further questions you about the previous topic.

Duolingo test scoring

The results of the Duolingo test are evaluated on a scale ranging from 10 to 160. Each part is assessed separately, and the overall score is the average of the four sections. In addition to the numerical score, candidates receive a general description of their abilities.

The results of the Duolingo test can be compared to the following exams and the CEFR (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) scale as follows:

TOEFL IELTS CEFR Duolingo English Test
0-25 1.5-3.5 A1-A2 10-55
26-61 4-5 B1 60-85
62-96 5.5-7 B2 90-115

Profesorica Ana Biskup vodila me je kroz pripreme za TOEFL test. Svojim znanjem, profesionalnosti i dobronamjernosti pomogla mi je rijeŔiti se stresa i nesigurnosti pred ispit i na tome sam joj jako zahvalna. Sve preporuke!

Ana Papo

Although I had very little time to prepare, Iva and her team successfully managed to get me on track for college readiness. Before taking the SAT and TOEFL I was really happy about having a teacher who was not just able to give me truly helpful tips during lessons but also answered any question and was there for me to support me nearly all the time. Hardly to imagine what I would have done without the competent teaching lessons as well as the very test-based and helpful material I received from Arte et Marte. Thank you again for the great service! Keep doing.

Ovim putem zahvaljujem ekipi Arte et Marte, a pogotovo profesorici Korneliji kojoj zahvaljujem svoje odlično postignuće na SAT i TOEFL ispitu, koja me motivirala, učila i prenosila svoju pozitivnu energiju i pozitivnost na način da je učenje dobilo skroz drugačiju dimenziju od očekivanog. Kornelija puno vam hvala! Svima preporučujem Arte et Marte kao izuzetno praktičan (online) i profesionalan način pripreme za ispite te su meni pomogli da u kratkom periodu zaista dosta napredujem i postignem i viÅ”e nego dobre rezultate. JoÅ” jednom veliko hvala

Klara Mrčela

Thank you very much for helpful lessons and useful tips besides supportive materials which led to successful SAT and TOEFL scores. With a great attitude Kornelija was always able to adapt herself to find some time for our lessons, although I did not have much time for preparation. Huge effort from a super pleasant person! I don't know whether I would have done those tests without your help. Puno ti hvala!

Valentin Baranyi

Thank you so much for the helpful and well organized classes! I was able to broaden my horizon in a very short period of time without being stressed. I'm sure that I'm going to keep profiting from the SAT and TOEFL preparation at university, so just continue to do such an awesome job! I'd truly recommend your company to anyone who needs to take the exams.

Thanks again for the perfect preparation on SAT and TOEFL, I couldn't have wished for a better teacher - personal and professional! I learned a lot, not only for my future college career, but also in general concerning my English skills as I could improve them quite a bit. I've always enjoyed the skype lessons and can only recommend them to everyone who looks for an excellent preparation for college! Thanks for helping me achieving awesome results!

Top of the Tops! The preparations for TOEFL exam at Arte et Marte where thorough, on spot, and fun. The professors are flexible timewise, and the lessons are held at their offices, or via Skype (which I preferred, since I'm not living close). Thanks again to Kornelija and the Arte et Marte team for helping me achieve what I needed and more!

Arte et Marte, and especially my teacher Kornelija, were an enormous help on my way to success and enrollment in the Medical innovation and Enterprise, University College London. Individual courses for SAT and TOEFL exams visibly improved my English. With a great vibe and constant support from my teacher, it wasn't too difficult to solve various problems and homework. šŸ™‚ I would recommend Arte et Marte to everyone wishing to study abroad or improve their English.

Barbara Singer

Moram izrazito pohvaliti način rada u Å”koli. Mislim da se efikasnost rada može vidjeti u mom napretku pričanja, pisanja i razumijevanja engleskog jezika. Jako mi se sviđa pristup i način predavanja. Prije nego Å”to sam krenuo na predavanja u Å”kolu moj engleski je bio prosječan s puno greÅ”aka u pričanju i pisanju. Sada se vidi ogroman napredak, pogotovo u pričanju. Mogu reći samo riječi hvale Å”to se tiče moga iskustva u Å”koli!

Tin OreÅ”ković

Puno hvala Korneliji koja je meni i sestri pomogla postići veliki skok u rezultatima iz TOEFL-a i SAT-a. Odlične pripreme s profesionalnim i motivirajućim pristupom, dobre i radne atmosfere. Zasigurno preporučujem Arte et Marte!
