All rights reserved.  \n1. Introduction  \n1.1 The Duolingo English Test  \nThe Duolingo English Test (DET) is an online English proficiency exam. It assesses listening, speaking, reading, and writing using AI technology. Test takers can take the test at any time, from anywhere, and use their results to apply to universities, colleges, and other institutions.  \nThe DET is fast, affordable, and accessible. It takes around an hour to complete, and results are available within two days. The test is adaptive, which means the difficulty adjusts based on the test taker’s performance. This helps provide an accurate picture of their English level faster than traditional tests.  \nAll answers on the DET are scored by AI. This means the test runs 24/7 and test takers do not need to worry about speaking to a stranger. The scoring system is consistent and reliable.  \nUnderstanding how answers on the DET are scored helps teachers give more focused feedback to their students. It also helps students know what to work onto improve their scores.  \n1.2 What is in this Book?  \nThis book explains how questions on the DET are scored. It is for teachers supporting students preparing for the test. It describes how scoring works, what it looks like in practice, and how students can use this understanding to perform better.  \nIt also includes 21 sample answers from real test takers, covering both speaking and writing tasks.  \nEach sample includes:  \n• The test taker’s original answer (transcripts for speaking tasks and links to listen to the original audio) .  \n• The score they received.  \n• An explanation of why they received that score, based on DET scoring criteria.  \n© Duolingo, Inc.
