Preparation Tips
The test is adaptive — answering correctly gives harder (higher-scoring) questions, so aim to get early questions right.
For 'Read and Complete' tasks, read the full sentence first to understand context before filling blanks.
Practice 'Listen and Type' by listening to English podcasts and transcribing short segments.
In the 'Read Aloud' section, focus on clear pronunciation — speak at a natural, steady pace.
For 'Write About the Photo,' use descriptive vocabulary — mention objects, actions, setting, and mood.
The interactive writing/speaking tasks are unscored but sent to universities — treat them seriously.
Take Duolingo's free practice test at englishtest.duolingo.com before your real attempt.
Ensure stable internet, a quiet room, and proper lighting — the test monitors your environment via webcam.
