Ratings and reviews

Stressful even before the test. The setting timing is over because I can't get right the position of phone camera to record my laptop. Although I have adjusted as the recommendation position and youtube video. I still can't get the right position. Moreover, I can't get a certificate and don't get refund because using the headset, but this one is my fault.

In my experience, the Duolingo English Test is extremely unfriendly to candidates with unstable internet, especially in developing countries. Even when you complete the test honestly, small network or camera issues can cause the test to be not certified, which is very frustrating. What is most painful is that you only find out after finishing the test, when your time, effort, and money are already spent. There is not enough clear warning beforehand about how strict and unforgiving the system is.

I had a great experience with the Duolingo English Test. The process was very easy and convenient, and I really liked that I could take the test from home. The interface is simple and user-friendly, the results come very quickly, and the test is much more affordable than many other options. Overall, it’s a very handy and efficient way to prove English proficiency.
