The Duolingo English Test  is a new approach to the English Proficiency Test taken by candidates worldwide. It is computer - based and measures a non - native English speaker’s ability to communicate effectively in four skills namely Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The test is adaptive which means that the questions are in increasing order of difficulty. If you do answer incorrectly, the level of difficulty is reduced until you can answer correctly. This process will continue until the end. Universities especially in the US have started accepting Duolingo English Test scores. Businesses too are using it to verify the English Language skills of applicants. The test is not particularly focused on academics or job scenarios and can be taken by people from any field. It is shorter when compared to IELTS, TOEFL or PTE meaning that it lasts for approximately an hour.
