Duolingo Pattern

The Duolingo English Test is an adaptive online language competence exam that assesses English skills quickly and easily. The test adapts to the test taker's aptitude level by delivering increasingly difficult or easier questions based on past responses. The exam consists of a variety of question types, including reading, writing, listening, and speaking, all designed to assess different aspects of language competency. The test is broken into two sections: a graded adaptive test (about 45 minutes) and an ungraded video interview and writing sample (10 minutes). The interview allows test takers to answer open-ended questions. Scoring varies from 10 to 160 points, and results are sent in two days, making it a quick and convenient option for English language evaluation.
