Avoid at any cost!!! Save your money and take something like Oxford English Test online.

Charged insane money for one test. Scanning all room, records you while doing a test. And all that just to receive email that a test was invalid.

No final marks, no reasonable physical evidence of a failed test, just someone somewhere saying that test invalid and PAY AGAIN??!!!

Scam alert

Scam alert. Their AI false-flags innocent students. I studied hard, memorized standard English structures, and they stole my money claiming 'plagiarism' without proof. Their support is a bot. Do not use this test; use IELTS instead.

Misleading Support Caused Me…

Misleading Support Caused Me Significant Financial LossI am writing this review to warn other students, especially those from low-income backgrounds, to be extremely careful when relying on information provided by Duolingo English Test support.Before spending any money on university applications, I contacted Duolingo support with a very specific and clear question. I asked whether they could send my Duolingo English Test score to additional institutions if I provided proof that I had applied to universities. Their response clearly indicated that this would be possible if I shared the required proof.Based on this confirmation, I proceeded to apply to multiple universities. I did this intentionally because applying to more universities increases the chances of receiving financial aid. Each application required a fee, and I paid these fees using money that I had saved slowly over a long period of time. I come from a financially weak background, and every dollar matters to me. This was not easy money for me to spend.After paying the application fees, I sent Duolingo the proof they had asked for, expecting them to honor what they had already told me. Instead, I received a reply saying that they cannot send my score to additional institutions. This response directly contradicted the information they gave me earlier, the same information that influenced my decision to spend hundreds of dollars.As a result of this misleading communication, I lost around $500 in university application fees. This loss has had a serious impact on me financially and emotionally. For a student like me, this amount is not small — it represents months of saving, sacrifice, and hope for a better future.What makes this situation even more painful is that this could have been avoided entirely if Duolingo support had been honest and precise from the beginning. If sending scores to additional institutions was not possible, they should have clearly stated that before encouraging me to proceed.I am not asking for special favors or exceptions. I am asking for accountability, transparency, and consistency. An education testing organization should understand how financially vulnerable many international students are and should take responsibility for the guidance they provide.This experience has damaged my trust in Duolingo English Test. I hope they improve their support system so that no other student is misled into losing money they cannot afford to lose.

Avoid

Avoid. They just claim they limit your test attempts to 3 even though your computer crashes or internet disconnects. Plan yourself ahead and use regular test environments such as IELTS, Pearson or Toefl. This one is a money trap.Besides, I found out that in some of the countries they don't pay taxes, so they might do tax evasion as well so I informed some authorities as well.

Avoid like the plague

Zero customer service. ZERO. Incredulous how a company potentially so large can provide ZERO customer support. Disgusting. There are many alternatives these days so avoid this like the plague.

I’m disappointed with my experience…

I’m disappointed with my experience taking the Duolingo English Test. I paid once, and the test gives you 3 attempts, but all of mine were marked invalid even though I carefully followed every guideline.The most frustrating part is that Duolingo’s own system approved my camera setup at the start, but later went on to invalidate the test saying the camera angle was incorrect. If the system approves it, it shouldn’t later claim it was wrong — and if something needs to be adjusted, they should be clear about it.Their customer service was not automated, but the replies still failed to give any real solutions or clear explanations of what I needed to fix. I kept trying to understand what went wrong so I could correct it, but the answers were vague and unhelpful.People rely on this test for important things like school, work, and immigration, and the lack of transparency makes the process extremely stressful. Duolingo needs to improve the review system and provide real human support that actually solves the problem.Based on my experience, I cannot recommend the Duolingo English Test.
