Where Can I Take the Duolingo Exam?
To register for the DET you must create an account on the official Duolingo website (or app). Once the account is created, you must purchase the exam. The cost is $49 if you purchase one exam and $39 each if you purchase 2 exams.
Once you have purchased and scheduled your exam, you only need to verify the following requirements:
– Validate your internet connection.
The DET requires that you have a minimum download speed of 2Mbps and upload speed greater than 1 Mbps. Here are 2 websites (https://www.testdevelocidad.es/ and https://www.speedtest.net/es) where you can perform a speed test and verify that your connection allows you to take the DET.
– Have a computer with a camera, speakers, and microphone.
To take the test you will need a computer with the above features. According to Duolingo’s official website, 2-in-1 tablets may not be suitable for taking the DET.
– Have an identification document.
Duolingo will want to make sure that the person in front of the camera is the person for whom the English level is to be certified. It is important that you have at your disposal a document issued by a government agency that validates your identity. The document in question must contain a photo that allows you to be identified.
If you have any doubts about the 3 requirements, we recommend that you contact Duolingo’s support page. Contact them before your test date if you want to avoid problems.

When Can I Take the DET?
Once you have registered as a candidate and paid for the exam, you will need to decide when to take the test. The DET, as with other validation tests such as the TOEFL iBT, allows you to take the test from any location. That ease means that when you register, you will see that DET offers you the ability to take your test 24/7. Don’t confuse being able to take the test 24/7 with being required to register. Once you receive confirmation of the date and time, there are only two things to keep in mind:
– You will not be able to take another Duolingo exam until you receive your scores.
– You will be able to purchase a maximum of 3 exams in a 30-day period.
Keep these two limitations in mind when scheduling your test.
