Yes — 100% free, no hidden charges or subscriptions. Try questions instantly with no signup; a quick free verification unlocks the full bank of 1000+ questions and tracks your accuracy per question type.
Can I practice on my phone?
Yes. The practice tests work on computers, tablets, and smartphones, so you can practice anytime, anywhere.
Is there an explanation or answer for each question?
Yes. Objective questions show the correct answer instantly, and speaking/writing questions include model answers (with sample recordings) so you can compare your response.
Does the practice match the real 2026 DET format?
Yes. Our question types mirror the current official test — including timers per question. Two additional retired types (Read Aloud, Listen Then Speak) are kept as extra skill drills and clearly labeled.
How closely do the practice tests resemble the real Duolingo English Test?
Our practice tests are modeled on the actual DET in question types, difficulty, and timing — including the same per-question timers — giving you a realistic testing experience, updated for the 2026 format.
Do the practice tests include speaking and writing sections?
Yes — all four skills are covered: speaking (record your answer and compare with model recordings), writing (with AI feedback), reading, and listening.
How is the real Duolingo English Test scored?
The DET is adaptive and scored 10–160. Universities typically ask for 105–130. Consistent practice on every question type is the fastest way to raise your score.
