What this guide covers
Answer first
Quick answer
The Duolingo English Test is computer adaptive and reports an overall score from 10 to 160 in 5-point steps, with Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking subscores. English AIdol practice is independent and adapted from published samples; its points are unofficial estimates, not a Duolingo score.

Reading and writing warm-up for DET practice
Try these two short language activities before choosing a full practice set.
How to try it: Read the notice, choose the supported answer, then write your own response to the second prompt before opening the self-check.
-
1. Reading for a contrast
The museum is closing its main gallery for repairs this week. The sculpture garden will remain open, and visitors can enter it through the east gate.
Which statement is supported by the notice?
Answer or self-check: B. Visitors can still enter the sculpture garden.
Why: The main gallery is closing, but the garden remains open. The east gate provides access to the garden during the repairs.

2. Writing with a reason and example
Describe one place in your town that you would improve. Explain the change you would make and give a specific example of how it would help people.
Answer or self-check: Self-check: identify the place and the proposed change, explain why the change matters, and include one concrete example. Different suggestions can answer the prompt successfully.
Why: A clear proposal, a reason and a relevant example connect your ideas. Check that each sentence develops the same proposal rather than listing unrelated improvements.
Choose a practice set
Open the Duolingo English Test practice library to choose a set and practise with audio, images, writing and speaking activities. Timed rehearsal helps you organise a response; it does not reproduce the official adaptive test.
Use feedback for revision
Review the answer evidence and the suggestions for your writing or recording. Practice points and AI feedback are unofficial study guidance, not certified Duolingo results or a guarantee of a test-day score. English AIdol is an independent learning service and is not affiliated with Duolingo.
