Duolingo
The Duolingo English Test is taken online, anywhere, 24/7 — an adaptive test about one hour long. It measures reading, writing, listening, and speaking in integrated tasks, and scores from 10 to 160 with literacy, conversation, comprehension, and production sub-scores since 2019.

How it works
DET practice from a home desk
Study with OmniTutorStuck at 11pm before a test? Ask in chat or by voice. Answers are worked to your exam's style — not generic textbook copy.
Every topic can become a short video lesson, generated for your chapter — with real examples and diagrams.
A daily plan built from your syllabus's weightage. Miss a day? It rebalances instead of guilt-tripping.
Results come within 48 hours and you can send them free of charge to institutions — one reason so many programs (5,000+) now accept the score.
Adaptive means the difficulty of each next item depends on your previous answers — less practice test fatigue, more honest measure of current ability. And 48-hour results are the fastest of the major English tests.
Everything happens online, at any time, in a supervised session — the official site runs its own verification around the test.
Because skills are integrated, train mixed items, not just isolated grammar: read and summarise, listen and respond, with spoken answers, within timed runs.
Sub-scores (literacy, conversation, comprehension, and production) tell you where to aim the next 48-hour cycle; OmniTutor’s plan follows the weakest band.
