No, you can not. You must use a laptop or desktop computer. Make sure it's OS is Windows or macOS. iPads, tablets, and Chromebooks are not supported. Because they cannot run the secure test launcher software.

The test is fast. The total Duolingo English Test duration is 1 hour. It is efficient.
- Introduction (5 mins): Setup, microphone check, and ID submission.
- Adaptive Test (45 mins): The main graded section assessing all four skills.
- Writing & Speaking (10 mins): Open-ended video and writing samples sent to universities.

Yes, it is important. Using a Duolingo sample paper allows you to experience the unique computer-adaptive format and practice new question types like "Interactive Writing" in a low-pressure environment. It builds speed.
However, be realistic. The sample test is much shorter (15-30 minutes) than the actual exam, so while it is great for checking your readiness, the score it gives is only an estimate and not a guarantee. Practice daily.

No, not immediately. A single test purchase gives you 3 attempts to complete and upload the test successfully. If your internet fails or a glitch occurs, you can restart up to two more times on the same credit without paying extra.
