Chennai Duolingo Coaching FAQs
Everything you need to know about starting your Duolingo prep journey from Chennai.
Q. When do I get my results?
One of the biggest advantages of DET is its speed; you typically receive your certified results within 48 hours of completing the test.
Q. How is the Duolingo English Test scored?
DET is scored on a scale of 10 to 160. Most universities require a score of 115-120 (equivalent to IELTS 7.0) for admission.
Q. Can I take the test from home?
Yes, the test is 100% online. You simply need a quiet room, a reliable internet connection, and a computer with a functional front-facing camera, microphone, and speakers.

The Duolingo English Test is significantly more affordable than IELTS or PTE, costing approximately $59 USD, which includes sending your scores to 40 institutions for free.
Q. How many times can I take the test?
You can take the test as many times as you want. However, you can only receive certified results for two tests within any 30-day period. We also guide Chennai candidates on exam-centre choice and slot timing.
Q. What are the sub-scores in DET?
DET provides four sub-scores: Literacy (reading/writing), Comprehension (reading/listening), Conversation (listening/speaking), and Production (writing/speaking). For Chennai, we align score targets to the most active visa pathways instead of generic prep.
