You should aim for at least 2 to 3 official practice tests before your real Duolingo English Test. This helps you get comfortable with the adaptive format of test and manage time. However you can take more than 2 to 3 according to your preferences. Focus on understanding mistakes and improving rather than just taking many tests.

It saves you from shock. You learn the adaptive format. Questions get harder if you are right. Papers teach time management. You find weak spots like dictation. Practice makes you faster.

You cannot get a static PDF of the actual test questions. DET test is dynamic and adaptive. You should use the official free practice test available on the Duolingo website, which accurately mimics the real experience.

DET test does not have a formal fixed syllabus. It assesses your overall command of English, including reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. It uses adaptive technology so the questions change based on your performance level.

It is very fast. Total time is 1 hour. Setup takes 5 minutes. The graded test is 45 minutes. Then the video interview. It is over before you get tired. Quick and intense.

You usually get your Duolingo English Test results within 48 hours after finishing the test. If you choose the Faster Results option, you may get them in about 12 hours. Duolingo will send you an email when your results are ready. You can then log in to your account to view your score.

After buying DET test, you can take it immediately or within 90 days. There is no waiting period. You can start the exam whenever your schedule and environment are fully ready for the 60-minute session.
