Well, there are several reasons why students should opt for the Duolingo English Test. Here are some of them:
The test is available at only $49. Not only do you save on the test cost but also on travel costs and the stress which comes with commuting to the center. At the cost of one IELTS or TOEFL exam, you can actually take several Duolingo tests.
Duolingo scores can be sent to an unlimited number of colleges without having to pay any extra charges. With TOEFL, you can send your results to only four universities for free, and with IELTS, only five. After that, there’s a fee of around $20 for each subsequent university. Duolingo saves you of all such costs.
The results are available within 48 hours.
The total exam duration is an hour - three times less than IELTS or TOEFL. So this also implies that you don’t even have to put in too many hours during your mock exam. Instead, you can focus more on mastering specific types of questions.
