A full Duolingo English Test mock, adaptive, with no repeated content
Every current task type in the real order, adapting as you go, ending with a score on the DET scale and the subscores underneath it. About an hour, which is what makes this test the one people sit at short notice.
The adaptive engine means a sitting that feels hard is usually going well. This is practice, scored the same way every time so the number is comparable between attempts — it is not an official Duolingo result.
Start with a free quick mock — about 20 minutes of the real tasks, with an estimated score. One for each exam, no card. Full mocks come with a pass.
What a full mock contains
Read and complete, listen and type, read aloud, describe the image, and the rest of the current set, with difficulty following your answers.
The longer spoken and written responses, judged against the published criteria rather than counted.
Overall on the DET scale with Literacy, Comprehension, Conversation and Production shown separately, the way universities read it.
The banks are large enough that 20 sittings never repeat an item — so the score measures your English rather than your memory.
How the score is worked out
- The counted tasks are scored against the answer key, item by item.
- The spoken and written samples are judged against the published criteria, with the reason attached.
- The overall maps onto the DET scale, with the four subscores reported separately.
Common questions
Is the Duolingo English Test mock free?
The quick mock is: about 20 minutes of the real task types, covering every skill, with an estimated score and no card. Each exam has its own quick mock. The full adaptive sitting described on this page comes with a Duolingo pass.
How long is it?
About 1 hour, which is why it is the test people sit when a deadline has moved.
Is it really adaptive?
Yes. Difficulty follows your answers, so a sitting that feels hard is usually going well — most people lose points by rushing the last items after an easy start.
Will I see the same questions twice?
No. The item banks carry enough material for 20 sittings without a repeat, because a test you have already seen measures your memory instead of your English.
What score do universities ask for?
115–130. The subscores are reported separately because many requirements also set a minimum in one of them.
What does a pass cost?
20 complete adaptive sittings, valid for a year, priced for your country. One payment; nothing renews.
