How to improve Base Score I have only 4 days please do help me with this should I take more free test or just give the exam

So I have to take undergraduate Dualingo English exam Tomorrow, and I am very anxiety ridden about my score in the practice run. is 130-140 out of 160 nearly enough for major in international relations?What can I do to make it better? Please if you have any advice it would be much appreciated! 🫪

I got 120 on the Duolingo English Test (DET) after only 2 days of preparation, and now I’m wondering if it’s worth retaking for a higher score. (I got a scholarship to take it and this is my first shot)

My main goal is scholarships and university admissions, and I’d really like to hear from people who got accepted or received scholarships with a DET score around 120.

I have two high school certificates from different curriculums:

• 2024: 80.55%
• 2025: 78.4%

I also have extracurricular activities, leadership programs, and some experience in design and tech.

Do you think 120 is competitive enough, or would retaking the DET (or taking TOEFL instead) make a significant difference?

Hello everyone! I just need a little help with this, because I was supposed to get 115 overall and I got 95 twice then 110, and the worst part is that my deadline is tomorrow, so I'm nervous if they'll give me more time as an extension or not, so wish me luck.

I took it without studying just did pre test before the exam and i got 120 even though it isn't good good but it was enough

I’ve been learning English for 8 months, my goal is to reach 130 in DET but I’ve done the exam twice with a 115 score and the last one I got 110. If someone can help me with some tips I’ll appreciate it.

Hi everyone!

I’m undecided is it good to take test or no. I need 115 but at the same time I’m scared that I’ll go bad in exam. I have done this practice tests more than 6 times and I’m always getting 110-120

So what would you reccomend, is the test based on same way or it has more questions?

I have most problems in speaking so how should I fix that (mostly know how to talk but the time to answer is killing me so I’m getting lost in my thoughts)

So before getting a test, is there any free creator/channel that can help for speaking and overall det?

Thanks for answers

I completely the practice free test. How do I see my results? Tks

I have only 10 days to prepare for the next test, and I’m aiming to get 110. Any tips that could help??

Hi everyone, I just received my DET score, and honestly I’m a bit disappointed since my target was 135 :(

I think the listening and speaking sections hit me the hardest. For listening, I struggled to remember the conversations accurately enough to write them back, and even the summary tasks felt quite difficult.

For speaking, I’m not really sure what the best strategy is. I mostly just kept talking until the timer ran out because I didn’t fully understand the scoring criteria for that section.

Does anyone have advice on how to improve speaking and listening for the DET? Thanks in advance for your support!
