Duolingo score is based on a scale of 10-160. If you score more than 120 then it means you can understand written and spoken language. It signifies that you can use it for academic or professional purposes. The total score that is displayed in your result gives a basic picture of what one can do and one's proficiency in particular areas is measured by the subscores. After appearing for the test one will obtain the test results within 48 hours of attempting the same.

The Duolingo English Test question paper cannot be downloaded. It is only possible to take the Duolingo English Test online. The Duolingo English Test (DET) doesn't provide downloadable question papers. Candidates can take the test from any location with a reliable internet connection because it is made to be accessible remotely. Because Duolingo's test is fully computer-based and available from home, it offers flexibility in contrast to traditional English proficiency exams, which frequently require candidates to visit a testing facility.
