DET preparation: frequently asked questions
What is the DET paper pattern?
DET is 40 MCQs in 60 minutes. There is no negative marking, so never leave a question unanswered. The subject weightage is listed in full on this page.
Who conducts the DET exam?
Duolingo English Test is conducted by Duolingo. Always confirm dates, eligibility and the fee on the conducting body's own advertisement, since those change every cycle.
How should I prepare for DET?
Work through the syllabus one topic at a time, solving MCQs on each topic until you are consistently scoring above 80 percent, and read the explanation on every question you get wrong. Move to solved past papers once a subject feels solid, then sit full-length timed mocks in the final weeks so the clock stops being a surprise.
Are DET past papers available for free?
Yes, free and with no signup. DET past papers on TestUstad are solved online rather than downloaded as a PDF, so each paper is timed and marked automatically and every answer comes with an explanation. That is the difference between reading a paper and actually sitting it.
Is DET preparation on TestUstad really free?
Yes. Solving DET MCQs is free and unlimited: no daily limit, no trial that expires, no card, and no account needed to start. Paid plans only add the things that require your history to be saved, which is score tracking over time, weak-topic analytics and full-length premium mock tests.
