DET speaking format and practice boundary
Duolingo owns the official Duolingo English Test format, scoring, certification, result delivery, and policy rules. LearnLingo.ai uses public DET task-type information for independent speaking preparation only.
Verified format notes
- Duolingo describes the DET as an online English proficiency test with a scored assessment and writing/speaking samples.
- Duolingo's speaking explainer describes four DET speaking tasks: Picture Description, Extended Speaking, Speaking Sample, and Interactive Speaking.
- Duolingo reports certified DET scores on a 10-160 scale and receiving institutions set their own requirements.
- Duolingo score information includes Speaking as an individual subscore plus integrated subscores such as Conversation and Production.
- Duolingo's scoring explainer says open-ended speaking responses are evaluated for content, coherence, vocabulary, grammar, fluency, and pronunciation.
Practice boundary
- Use LearnLingo.ai to practise voice-only DET speaking drills such as Extended Speaking, Speaking Sample-style responses, and Interactive Speaking-style connected questions with independent prompts.
- Practise Picture Description only when visible media is actually supplied; voice-only sessions must not invent or imply unseen media.
- LearnLingo.ai feedback is preparation guidance only; it is not an official DET score, certificate, score prediction, affiliation claim, or source of official or leaked DET questions.
- Use Duolingo English Test official resources for current test setup, visible-media tasks, certification, result delivery, score interpretation, booking, fees, ID, and test rules.
