General information

This webpage provides information for students wishing to prepare the Duolingo Test.

"The Duolingo English Test (DET) is a standardized test of the English language designed to be internet-based rather than paper-based. DET is an adaptive test that uses an algorithm to adapt the difficulty of the test to the test-taker. It was developed by Duolingo in 2014 as a Test Center and grew in popularity and acceptance at universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ireland accepts the test as part of its student visa program" (Source: Wikipedia).

It is presently accepted by 6,000 institutions worldwide.
