An estimate, clearly marked
The real test is adaptive and scored by Duolingo’s own models, which no one outside can reproduce. We check reading and listening against the key and rate speaking and writing on the criteria Duolingo publishes, then place them on 10–160. It is a good guide to your level and what to fix — and we always show it as an estimate.

Questions
Is this the official Duolingo English Test?
No. Nomto is independent and not affiliated with Duolingo. Our tasks are written for Nomto in the test’s format, and our scores are estimates. Duolingo also offers a free official practice test; use it alongside Nomto for a final check.
What do I get that the free practice test does not give?
A review of every answer: what was wrong, the corrected sentence, how to develop your answer, and a model answer, in your language. You can also practise one question type as many times as you need.
Which question types are included?
All the types in the 2026 test: Read and Select, Fill in the Blanks, Read and Complete, Listen and Type, Interactive Reading, Interactive Listening with its summary, Write About the Photo, Interactive Writing, the Writing Sample, Speak About the Photo, Read Then Speak, Interactive Speaking and the Speaking Sample.
How is my speaking checked?
You record in the browser. We turn your answer into text, measure pace and pauses from the recording, and an AI examiner rates content, coherence, grammar, vocabulary, fluency and pronunciation. Recordings are not kept.
What score do universities ask for?
It depends on the university and the program; many ask for 105–125 overall and some set minimum subscores. Check the requirement on each program’s page.
Is it free?
A free account gets a one-time trial: 3 spoken and 1 written answer reviewed by AI, 10 reading and listening tasks and one practice test of a subscore. A Nomto pass opens every course, the Duolingo English Test included, with the full practice test and generous limits; it does not renew by itself.
