Thank you for sharing some helpful information! Had a hard time trying to make the DET app to use my external webcam instead of the bad quality built-in one. Finally got it to work, it was confusing because the app automatically used my external microphone but with a little adjustment of my laptop's settings, I can finally get to take a clear image of my ID. Also, I want a plushie! 😂💛
Hello, right now I am in your same situation. I'm trying to set an external webcam that also includes the microphone that I want to use. Tomorrow I want to take the exam, but I want to do all the setting today. However, I can't find a way to configure the Duolingo software to make sure it uses the external devices. Could you help me?
Thank you, Duolingo English Test team, for your hard work and dedication in creating an effective and innovative language assessment tool. Your efforts have helped countless individuals around the world showcase their language proficiency conveniently and accurately. Your contributions to language learning and testing have been invaluable, and I appreciate the positive impact you've made on language education. Keep up the excellent work!
Duolingo saved from me crossing borders as it is the only english test available in my country somali! Just turning on my computer in my room and boom. By the way thanks det.
I really love Duolingo and DET for some reasons including these easy explanation videos!💚 DET helped me to study abroad this summer. All I just wanna say is thank you🦉💚
Thank you, Duolingo English Test team, for your hard work and dedication in creating an effective and innovative language assessment tool. I am preparing for an upcoming test.
Hi, great tips and explanation. One thing regarding the microphone, is there a sound test before the test begins? I have noticed in the practice test that during oral production my bar does not move, so I presume the mic is not connected to the test. Please advice on this. Thanks
I took all the tests TOEFL, IELTS, and DET. Personally speaking, I found DET less stressful and less time-consuming and was to register for it. I also recommend everyone to take DET as an English proficiency.
please tell me, which voice recorder shall i buy for voice recording for the speaking or question type ' read the given statement and record your voice' whereas the headset is not allowed?
During the speaking section, it was evident you were reading a response that had been written out. This is not permitted. Your response cannot be prepared in any way and must be candid in order to receive a certified result. You must test again. I give thee times det but this reason to, test uncertified what should I do?
Hello Caroline. Thanks alot for this wonderful video. I am intending to take my test soon, but i need some clarification. Firstly, Can I connect my mp3 speaker to my laptop for the test? Secondly, can I use a lapel microphone for the test? I really hope to get a response soon as the support team are yet to reply my chat. Thank you.
A question for the DET team: I'm using a pretty wide monitor (55" diagonally) for my desktop PC. This means my eyes can't stay "centered" if I have to take the test in fullscreen mode. Is it allowed to do the test in a smaller window that only covers the center of the screen as long as I make sure that the mouse pointer never leaves this window?
You said a bottle of water is allowed. However, the test said do not take your eyes off the screen. How can you then take water without taking your eyes off the screen?
Thank you for the information. I have heard from someone that putting a mirror behind you is a good way to demonstrate that you are alone in the room and honest with your answers. Am I allowed to do so?
I was really looking forward to this test. I got an email today saying my test is invalid because "you looked away for an extended period of time". Now, the whole time I was literally glued to the screen, how could Duolingo say I was not? This is not fair. I will retake it in a few minutes, and honestly, I don't have high hopes that I will find a fair result from you.
Thank you so much for this, I would like to know if chewing gum is allowed, i get nervous during testing so i need it in the first 15min or so?!! would you kindly allow it? Thanks
Hi, I followed all the rules. I had no external devices no pen or paper my eyes were always on screen and my ears were visible too. Why is my test invalid? I've read this online at so many platforms that people are getting scammed that way. Maybe I shouldn't have trusted.
Thank you for this information. But one thing I would like to know is, can I use my mobile phone's hotspot to the test? I will close all incoming calls during the test. I already paid for the test and tell me if I am allowed in my room as long as it does not disturb.
thank you so much for these instructions and information.. is it really important to have webcam? because my webcam is totally damaged.. kindly I would like to ask, can I get a plushie? please!
Where should I place my mike, I am a bit worried that half of it would appear in the frame, but the other half won’t. That is solely because my desk is extremely tiny
looks like the Chat support is not aware of these. I asked them if my setup was okay and showed them my setup. As per my doctor's instruction I use a laptop stand to keep it at eye level along with external keyboard, external mic, external speaker and wireless mouse. I told them I'm not going to switch during the test (quite unrealistic to switch as well). But they kept repeating "Do at your own risk". Can I get a clarification? Even if I stick to my external keyboard, wireless mouse, external speaker and external mic the test can potentially get cancelled? Even after following the rules?
Hello. Thank you for your explanation, I had a question, can we use VPN? Because we do not have good internet access inside Iran and the Duolingo site is hard to load.
I appreciate your efforts, but three times I took the DET but they are insisting that I have something running in the background. I have closed all startup applications, as instructed by you. I don't know what to do next. Should I change my laptop that would be fresh and nothing in it?
Hi! I did not understand if I am allowed to have one plushie next to me while doing my test, however I want to have the Duolingo one. And, can I have it next to me for good look during the test?
What happen if while someone is doing the test, it starts raining and you get closer to the camera so you can also be closer to the laptop microphone and make sure your voice is listened?
Why every time my exam wasn't certified , i gave my best but also every time invalid my exam. I was really frustrated because i gave my best but always they uncertified my test. So how to improve it i know my grammar is not so good but, at least they have to give marks on it .
My first attempt on Duolingo was 2 days ago, before starting the actual test when I lunched the application, and input my details, the next thing I get is " unknown error, please try again later". I tried a few times and still got same error, now I see a warning that this is my last attempt , I would have to pay again to continue. How fair is that?.😢
please tell me, which voice recorder shall i buy for voice recording for the speaking or question type ' read the given statement and record your voice' whereas the headset is not allowed?
Hello madam, I have purchased one test, but my problem is regarding my internal camera which is not working. So I have no choice but have to use an external webcam in the test. Am I permissible to do so?
I just recently took the test and definitely would recommend it to others. Thank you DET!

I am having the same issue, no idea how to make the mic work and it is working fine in other programs.

Thanks for your this video, as I have been suffering from these questions and queries. Hope to see more from you
Thanks for the kind comment! I'll be back soon with new videos, let me know if you have any requests.
A question for the DET team:
I'm using a pretty wide monitor (55" diagonally) for my desktop PC. This means my eyes can't stay "centered" if I have to take the test in fullscreen mode. Is it allowed to do the test in a smaller window that only covers the center of the screen as long as I make sure that the mouse pointer never leaves this window?
Duolingo helps reminding me every time I miss the lesson. It’s such a good reminder! 😂😂
what about other wired microphone that usually pinned to your shirt?
What if I am not a good Typewriter and I need to look down on the keyboard ?
I will take the DET soon, thanks for all the advices and I want a plushie as well :D
You said a bottle of water is allowed. However, the test said do not take your eyes off the screen. How can you then take water without taking your eyes off the screen?
