It's money making scam to enforce new test purchase by invalidating even with an excuse of random computer process in background or that cursor going out of test window even when u don't move it or even when test freeze itself after one question,
Hello, I understand your feeling about test getting Invalidated because of some reason like that. However, since the Duolingo English Test is an online test, they need to follow some rigorous rules to make sure that no cheating is done. I usually recommend using their official app to give an exam rather than browser. The main benefit to it is that you can make sure that nothing that running in the background and secondly there is no way that cursor goes out of the screen. To make sure that there are no background apps running, there are 2 steps that you need to follow : Firstly make sure that you close all the applications that are visible in your task bar. Secondly, check the arrow button which is to the left of wifi/internet icon on the bottom right of the screen. make sure that there are no applications running in that. if you're confused and couldn't find it, I recommend checking this video out: ua-cam.com/video/-82T_qCT3CY/v-deo.htmlsi=KenTsdERgpPdQa_G Let me know if there is any other way I can help.
Sir, while interactive listening, my selfie check video goes up, and I can't see myself on the screen, that is the reason that I got same results 2 time that I am not certified because You looked outside of the screen. Because I know that I'm not looking anywhere while giving exam. I don't understand what they analyse and examine.
Hello, I think it depends on weather you perform same in actual test as you do consistently in practice test. If yes, then you should be comfortable getting near around your low score range. In my opinion, score can increase if you use complex grammar statements, Linking words, vocabulary etc. Check out my videos on how to score high in speaking : ua-cam.com/video/c6LnGIJvd_k/v-deo.html how to score high in Describe the image : ua-cam.com/video/4FdnI1e5mQY/v-deo.html
I have give the test 2 in the last 2 weeks and the result I keep getting is invalid,due to some applications in the background, but I made sure to keep all applications closed, what can I do how do I make sure all the applications are turned off on my laptop? Because the DET has given me one last chance to give an attempt for this test now
Hello, I am sorry to hear about Invalidation. So, my first question will be, are you giving the DET test on website? If yes, I would suggest you download their application and give test using the application as there are less chances of test getting interrupted in the middle and secondly, you are able to close all the apps in the background. Here's the link to application: englishtest.duolingo.com/download To make sure all applications are closed follow the below steps once you open the DET test application. Firstly make sure that you close all the applications that are visible in your task bar. Secondly, check the arrow button which is to the left of wifi/internet icon on the bottom right of the screen. make sure that there are no applications running in that. if you're confused and couldn't find it, I recommend checking this video out: ua-cam.com/video/-82T_qCT3CY/v-deo.htmlsi=KenTsdERgpPdQa_G
Hello, Not, your test will be Invalidated if your mouse pointer goes outside of the test screen. Not only that but, that might also block your account and you won't be allowed to give another attempt in future. So, I would suggest not doing so.
My account has been blocked . what should I do bro. Is there any choice to retake the test with another account. Please give reply as soon as possible.
Hello, It is always recommended to use just one account from purchasing to giving an actual test. I would recommend you reaching out to their support team by clicking help button on homepage of DET. Thier chat support is pretty good and I think they'll be able to unblock your account. hope that helps.
Hello, I suggest you to appeal your Invalidation and try to explain them that you were the one who gave exam. There might be difference in the photo that is shown on your passport as that might have been taken a while ago. Hope this helps.
Hey You actively used more than one keyboard or mouse. This is not permitted. You may have multiple keyboards or mice connected, but you should use only one keyboard and one mouse during the test. What should i do now? Can i give again this test? Or im banned from duolingo?
Hello, I think that is a reason that they provided for Invalidation. It doesn't mean that you are banned from giving Duolingo again. If that would have been the case, you would've gotten another notification stating that you won't be eligible to give Duolingo again. For the next time, my first suggestion to you would be use a working laptop. This will prevent you from falling into same trap again. You can borrow it from someone as it is just a matter of couple of hours for the test. If nothing works out, you can make the use of external keyboard and mouse, however, you need to make sure that you don't switch between the laptop's keyboard/Mouse and external keyboard/Mouse. This makes DET curious that there is someone who is helping you in the test and hence invalidation. Hope this helps.
Hello sir, i have given duolingo test thrice , two times they said that " we could not confirm the test was taken by the account owner". What does this means?
Hello, Did you not appeal the decision of invalidation? I think the reason just means that they could not verify of you gave the test or someone else did. You should reach out to thier support team to get more understanding on this. And I would also recommend appealing the invalidation with proper explaination.
@@palaknirankari1042 That is not justified. How can we work on something that is unknown? Did you get this reply from their support team? or an explanation to your appeal? As I believe in appeal you do get the reason on what was the issue.
Hello, Sorry to hear about the Invalidation. But I feel that you need to reach out to them saying that the test was already certified early. How possibly can it be invalidated now? What reason did they mention for invalidation?
@@LearnwithNikunj sir I can view the result..anyway I chatted with customer care..and they said that the problem is with the university..i was trying for pg course and the university shared ug and graduate courses only with duolingo..so its almost like solved..no problem with score
Hello, Yes, the venue of the test can be decided by you. My recommendation will be to sit in a separate room if you can. If not make sure that there are no movements happening behind you and also make sure that the lights are good.
For me it said "not certified because i had another program or windows or tabs opened during the test" even tho i closed all the tabs and nothing was running in background 😞i just don't understand what to do now
Hello, I always recommend students to not use google browser to appear for test as many a times unknowingly your cursor can go out of the current screen or at times a new tab opens up by mistake. Any of such small mistakes can lead to invalidation. Hence, I suggest students to download their official app and appear for test through that app. here's the link for it : englishtest.duolingo.com/download
Your test could not be certified but they dont give any kind of rean if i click on learnmore option then all the rules are written under it but didn't written a specific reason what i do next?
Hello, I am sorry to hear about that. You need to make sure that you are continuously looking at the screen for the entire duration of the test. In all the section of the test, you have be very careful and not let your eyes go hear or there.
Hello, I am not 100% sure if you can use TV as your external screen. The only issue I feel is that it would be more complicated to set up as I believe you need a camera as well and aligning it properly to make sure that it looks like you are looking at screen during test is needed. I think you can confirm about using TV as your external display with DET's support team.
I'm confused in photos section we have see photo and mention about it then for that i lowered my eyes to examine photo then how he can give me invalid where should i look then
Hello, In my opinion, I don't think they disqualify you for looking at different parts of screen. It has to do more about looking outside of screen. Do you remember looking outside of screen while speaking or any other section? If not, then maybe you should appeal your decision of invalidation with valid explanation.
I am sorry but the reason why face may not be visible is because of their tiny camera on the test. It's just incredibly hard and even impossible both to focus on the exam and adjusting camera every time since duo lingo camera frame is incredibly small. I believe this is the sompany who focuses less on quality
Hello, I can understand what you're feeling right now. I completely agree to the fact that it can be really difficult to focus on staying in frame and also concentrate in formulating answer. I think the best practice would be to stay in one position throughout for one hour of test. I know that could be challenging but practicing it on a practice test could be a bit of a help on actual test. Hope that helps.
Hello, So as per their comment, you did not look at the screen while giving answers. Remember you are always supposed to look at the screen for every section of the test. If you peek outside of the screen for more times, then they suspect that there is someone that's helping you with the answers.
Hello, Yes, you can use eternal speaker and mic. The only rule that DET has is that your eyes, mouth and ears should be clearly visible. You cannot wear headphones as that will cover your ears.
Bro I got 4times not certified test result issue is during speaking section it was evident that you were reading a response that had been written out. Please suggest any solutions to overcome it.
Hello, I am sorry to hear about your Invalidation. This reason can have multiple causes, perhaps they felt that you were not looking at screen during the speaking section, which might make them feel that you were reading the response from somewhere. Or you speed of speech can also make them feel that you were not giving a natural response. It might have not been the case for you. You might have been honest while giving each attempt. But if that's the case, I strongly feel you should appeal your decision with valid explanation. If they accept your explanation, you might get another chance to appear for test. My suggestion will be to stop looking outside of the screen at all during any section of the test. Yes, you can look at keyboard while typing but for rest of the section make sure you are looking at the screen. Secondly, make sure that your pace while speaking is not too fast or not too slow. Speak as if you are talking with someone. If you speak too fast, that makes them feel that you are reading or you prepared answer from beginning.
Hey I have also got invalided in speaking section repeating same response,I was so sad after getting that but after 1 day I have got my result certified how?
Hello, No, you cannot use any kind of earphones on your certified test. The rule says that your eyes ears and mouth should be completely visible and should not be covered.
Hello, Yes you can use an external keyboard on your certified test. The only thing you need to remember is that do not switch between the external keyboard to keyboard on laptop. This can lead to invalidation.
Sir... I written exam result wat not certified becouse someone os present in my room.what the reason.. actually the person present when asked the our concern afterwards once exam started nobody was present ..
Hello, I am sorry to hear about your invalidation. As per DET, you are required to be alone in the room for the test duration of 1 hour. Continuous Movement in the background may lead to invalidation with this reason.
I had appeared 3 times it always gets invalid one time it says that i had looked away and other two times it says during speaking session it was evident that 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. What should I do about it please help me about it?
Hello, I am sorry to hear about your multiple invalidation. Firstly, I want to ask you how do you appear for your speaking section? What I mean by that is, are you looking at camera or are you looking outside of the screen for multiple times?
@@LearnwithNikunj I looked at the screen at whole time for that in got speaking session problem and for looking away from screen I had looked at the camera
@@mdsameer4895 So it is necessary to look at the screen for entire duration of the test. When you look at camera of laptop, it seems that you are looking above the screen which makes DET team feel that someone is helping you or you are reading the response. So, remember the next time to keep looking at screen and no where else.
I’m getting an error saying that your curser left the browser window I just selected the answer and it says this error can someone please help me solve this
Hello, Did your test get invalidated with this reason from DET? well, I always recommend students to always donthe certified test on their official app. here's the link to download: englishtest.duolingo.com/download If you use thier app, you won't have time to fear of this error.
Hello, Yes, you can look at the keyboard while typing and that is allowed by DET. My suggestion to all the students is to keep switching your eyes in between keyboard and screen when you are typing so that your eyes are not off screen for extended time. Hope that helps.
Hello, Sorry but I don't quite understand the situation. Do you mean that your test doesn't start when you click on start test? If yes, then I believe there might have been some issue with purchasing the test. Watch this video to make sure that you have booked the test correctly: ua-cam.com/video/3PMKJzIVfYg/v-deo.html If you followed all the mentioned steps correctly and still facing issues, Then I would suggest you reach out to the DET's Support team through chat. You can do that by clicking on the help button on the bottom right on DET's website. Hope that helps.
Hi bro i wrote Duolingo exam 2 tyms but 2 tyms my test was not certified one time speaking problem and another time you completed the written section independently but i wrote my exam own i didn't understand how to get my exam certified please give me any suggestions to get my certification
Hello, I am sorry to hear about your invalidation. There can be multiple reasons why DET team invalidated your test. When giving the exam, did you use an external keyboard or mouse? If yes, then switching between the external keyboard and laptop's keyboard can get you invalidated. My suggestion would be to not use external mouse or keyboard for your future test. Secondly, when giving the exam make sure that you are alone in the room. Any movement behind you can make DET team suspicious and may lead to invalidation. Lastly, make sure that your typing & speaking speed is normal and that you are looking at screen most of the time.
Hi. I found your video helpful brother. I'm going to appear for the test on 21st of this month. I want to know that i already created an account from my cell phone and also gave a practice test on my phone only. But, now i guess laptops are compulsory for this and i don't own a laptop so I'll be using my friend's laptop for taking the test. However, i don't know how to close the other app functions and notifications🔔 so i don't receive them in the middle of my exam. Secondly, can i buy the test by logging in from my phone and then can i give it on a laptop?
Hello, Thank you and I am glad that my videos are helpful. I think the best way to make sure all the apps are closed is by looking at task manager and closing all the unnecessary. Before starting the certified test, make sure that some of the auto correction software's like Grammarly are uninstalled. Another suggestion from my side is to watch this video by DET to see how to close rest of the apps before giving test. ua-cam.com/video/-82T_qCT3CY/v-deo.htmlsi=KJhQpP-htlGY5Fwx And for your second question. Yes, you can purchase the test from cell phone. The only thing to consider is not having multiple ID which could potentially lead to invalidation. Just for the sake of simplicity, use one if to do everything.
@@LearnwithNikunj should I stop Or close all the applications? I mean some of them are important I guess like "Windows Audio", "Asus Optimization" (my laptop's internal function) & "Asus Software Manager" Etc...
@@coveringcontinents I don't think you need to shut down those software's. There one in particular, if you are using gaming laptop or any other laptop that has live streaming software's like twitch or any graphic software's. Make sure that those are all closed and not running in the background.
@@LearnwithNikunj Hi. I had completed my exam on 23rd Sept, 3 am. It is almost going to be 45 hrs and I haven't received my results. I know that I should wait until 48 hrs. However, I would like to mention here that I never received any mail regarding "your test is in review" Or anything like that. A lot of people receive this mail upon finishing the test. Is this fine? I only got a successful payment receipt mail.
@@coveringcontinents Hello, That's weird. You should get an email within few hours about your test is in review. I think you should reach out to the DET support team asap to understand what is the situation here? You can reach out to them via the DET's website by clicking on the help option.
we could not confirm that you completed the written section independently ... its saying buy test again and also given appeal...any helpful with appeal ?????
Hello, Sorry to hear about that. You can appeal the decision that they made and try to justify the reason they have you. For the certified test, You need to make sure that you are alone in the room and there are no movements from other behind you.
we could not confirm that you completed the written section independently ... its saying buy test again I gave test with honesty , looking on camera not moving my angle still got this for the second time ...any helpful text that I should write in appeal section so they revert back and release my score ?????
Hello, I am sorry to hear about your invalidation. I can understand at times these strict guidelines can cause the test to be invalid. I am not sure if there is anything other than your actual explanation that could write in appeal. But one thing I will suggest you is that, in future, have yourself a room and be alone while appearing for test, There should not be any movement behind you on camera as they might suspect that someone as helped you. Please disregard if you're already following it.
sir I had given Duolingo test . today supervisor objection on my test that during speaking section,it was evident you were reading a response that had been written out.this is not permitted
Hello, I am sorry to hear about your test being invalidated for 3 times. There are few things that you need to remember before beginning the test. I usually recommend using their official app to give an exam rather than browser. The main benefit to it is that you can make sure that nothing that running in the background and secondly there is no way that cursor goes out of the screen. While speaking, make sure that you have a very natural tone and speed. Take pauses while speaking to make it more natural. don't look anywhere outside of screen while you speak (MOST IMPORTANT) as looking outside of screen makes the DET proctors feel that someone's helping you. To make sure that there are no background apps running, there are 2 steps that you need to follow: Firstly, make sure that you close all the applications that are visible in your task bar. Secondly, check the arrow button which is to the left of Wi-Fi/internet icon on the bottom right of the screen. make sure that there are no applications running in that. if you're confused and couldn't find it, I recommend checking this video out: ua-cam.com/video/-82T_qCT3CY/v-deo.htmlsi=KenTsdERgpPdQa_G

Sir mere result me yeh aaya hai(During the speaking section, it was evident you were reading a response that had been written out. This is not permitted. You response cannot be prepared in any way and must be candid in order to receive a few certified result. You can test again) toh sir iska kya matlab hai or kya solution hai?
Hello, So as per DET's comment, they feel like you were reading the response during your speaking section. They require the response to be on the spot and not memorized. This can happen because of the speed of your speech. You need to speak in a way which feels like you are having a conversation. Speak slowly and not with fast pace as speaking fast creates a misassumption that you are reading from some where. Practice speaking slowly as that will help you get your test certified.
@@LearnwithNikunj I was doing the test in Study Makers which is my Duolingo test but in the middle of speaking my headteacher came into my room because she didn't know about my test (that I was doing). So my point is that it's not my intention to do all this.
I used extra keyboard because my laptop keyboard didn't work properly so they banned my id and they said that you are not eligible to give Duolingo test on any accounts 😢 What can i do please Help me brother please please please please please 🙏
Hello, That's quiet unfortunate. It is okay to use external keyboard on a certified test. The problem arises only when you switch between the keyboard within test. The DET may find it suspicious when your hand position changes from external keyboard to Laptop's. This may not be scenario in your case, but DET has very strict with these rules. Try to reach out to their support and explain your situation. They might reassess it.
Hi today i got my results as uncertified and it stated that "you received an assistance during test" and blocked my account. But that's not true i was honest throughout the exam And they asked to appeal for the test. What do you think reason behind this?
Hello, I am sorry to hear about that. There can be multiple reasons why they thought you got assistance. It can be that there might have been people moving behind you during the test or maybe you might have seen outside of the screen multiple times. It is better to appeal their decision and explain them that it was a genuine attempt, and you did not cheat. Once you appeal, if your explanation is accepted, you will be given an additional chance to give the test for free. Hope this helps
@@LearnwithNikunj okayy got it Thankyou so much!! Also can you give me few tips to get certified if i get a valid appeal result. Because in previous test I did not even cheat or look outside.

Your response cannot be prepared in any way and must be candid in order to receive a certified result. What's the solution for this how I need to give the answer while speaking section for next tym
Hello, I am sorry to hear about your invalidation. I believe that the way how you speak matters in speaking section. There are other factors like looking away from screen again and again also makes DET think that you are reading responses from somewhere. The next time when you are appearing for test, make sure that you are speaking at natural speed of your speech and make sure that you are not looking away from screen multiple times. Your eyes should be onscreen during the entire duration of Exam. Hope that helps.

Hello, No, it is not recommended to speak in sections other than speaking section. I understand that speaking and answering works for you, however, they have mentioned in their rules that you are only supposed to speak when you are instructed to do so. You can confirm this information with them as well just in case if you need a confirmation. click on the help button on their Homepage and begin chat with them.
@@Aman-qe9sz Keep it simple. You can look at the keyboard while typing. But how do you just look at the keyboard and type right? You'll have to see at the screen to see what you typed to make sure if there are any errors and stuff. So just keep doing that and you should be good.
Brother my result was invalid because they suspected that I didn't complete the written section independently. I appealed and they consumed my full credit.I have to purchase the test again to take another test. But I'm nervous will they do the same activity and consume my credit.
Hello, I am sorry to hear about the invalidation. I know the test can be complicated mainly because of their strict rules. I would suggest you few things for the next time you take test. Your eyes should stay only on screen and no where else for all the sections of test. For writing section, you can look at the keyboard to type but make sure that constantly keep on checking the screen as well to see what you typed. This way your eyes will stay on screen most of the time. Another thing is give test through their app rather than browser, as this will help you close all the background app before beginning the test. To make sure that there are no background apps running, there are 2 steps that you need to follow : Firstly make sure that you close all the applications that are visible in your task bar. Secondly, check the arrow button which is to the left of Wi-Fi/internet icon on the bottom right of the screen. make sure that there are no applications running in that. if you're confused and couldn't find it, I recommend checking this video out: ua-cam.com/video/-82T_qCT3CY/v-deo.htmlsi=KenTsdERgpPdQa_G Finally, I would also recommend reaching out to them via the HELP button on the DET website. Just ask them what extra measure should I take to make sure that I don't get Invalidated with the reason like "I didn't complete the written section independently". I am pretty sure they will also suggest you to do few things to avoid that from happening. I hope the above points would help. Let me know if you have more questions.
Sir, i wrongly answered question. It is the description question. But i actually speak the picture.. question comes fastly sir. I don't even understand..
Hello, I think mistakes are just part of test. So don't worry as it's already done. You should be good as long as you did good if rest of the sections.
Hello, No, you cannot have your eyes closed while any section of your test. As per the rule, your eyes, ears and mouth should be clearly visible and uncovered.
Hello, I am sorry to hear about your invalidation. Can you share the reason that they provided for Invalidation of test? I would better be able to help you with that.
@@LearnwithNikunj it says I looked away from the screen multiple times and while speaking it was an evident that I was reading the written format. Which is not true in both cases. I have no idea why it’s been not getting certified.
From the response, it feels that you looked away from screen for multiple times. It is always recommended to keep your eyes on screen for entire duration of test. The reason why they are saying you might be reading the response is the same because when you look away from screen multiple times, they suspect that you have a response written somewhere and you are reading it while looking away from screen. The next time you decide to give test, make sure that your eyes should be on screen not on camera, not anywhere else. Hope this helps.
@@LearnwithNikunj honestly I did not. Yet I got this results. A question: if during exams we get a warning in between does that mean it’s automatically disqualified?
@@neethadsa7989 what warnings did you get in the middle of the test? However, I think those are just warnings to make you understand that you should not do it again. Doing it multiple times can cause invalidation.
Hello, Not really, just looking at the keyboard while typing cannot get you invalidated. DET Have clearly mentioned it on their website that looking at keyboard while typing is okay. The problem arises when you look away from screen multiple times for rest of the sections when you are not required to look at the keyboard,
I wish you all the best for your test tomorrow. Just couple of points that I think you need to remember while attempting your test. Make sure that you are not looking anywhere other than screen for entire test duration. And yes, it is okay to look at keyboard while typing as I mentioned earlier. Make sure that you are alone in the room while appearing for test, as movement in the background by anyone else can also be suspicious.

If not, then you should reach out to them to understand how can you retake exam with the same purchase. You can reach out to them by clicking on the Help button on the bottom right.
If I score 135 in literacy , 125 in comprehensive,125 in production and 115 in conversation , how much is my overall DET test please tell me how to calculate it
Hello, So DET scores are based on two parts the Overall score and the score in 4 modules that you mentioned above. So, taking marks of just 4 modules doesn't give you the correct estimate of the actual score. But just to give you an estimate, I guess the actual score should be around 130 to 135 from the above sub scores.

However, since the Duolingo English Test is an online test, they need to follow some rigorous rules to make sure that no cheating is done.
I usually recommend using their official app to give an exam rather than browser. The main benefit to it is that you can make sure that nothing that running in the background and secondly there is no way that cursor goes out of the screen.
To make sure that there are no background apps running, there are 2 steps that you need to follow :
Firstly make sure that you close all the applications that are visible in your task bar.
Secondly, check the arrow button which is to the left of wifi/internet icon on the bottom right of the screen.
make sure that there are no applications running in that.
if you're confused and couldn't find it, I recommend checking this video out: ua-cam.com/video/-82T_qCT3CY/v-deo.htmlsi=KenTsdERgpPdQa_G
Let me know if there is any other way I can help.
Sir, while interactive listening, my selfie check video goes up, and I can't see myself on the screen, that is the reason that I got same results 2 time that I am not certified because You looked outside of the screen. Because I know that I'm not looking anywhere while giving exam. I don't understand what they analyse and examine.
Thanks for these information.
I am getting 100-110 continuously I can’t increase anymore. so how much score can i expect ?
Use high vocabulary words... Definitely you will score more
Hello,
I think it depends on weather you perform same in actual test as you do consistently in practice test. If yes, then you should be comfortable getting near around your low score range.
In my opinion, score can increase if you use complex grammar statements, Linking words, vocabulary etc.

I have give the test 2 in the last 2 weeks and the result I keep getting is invalid,due to some applications in the background, but I made sure to keep all applications closed, what can I do how do I make sure all the applications are turned off on my laptop? Because the DET has given me one last chance to give an attempt for this test now
Hello,
I am sorry to hear about Invalidation.
So, my first question will be, are you giving the DET test on website?
If yes, I would suggest you download their application and give test using the application as there are less chances of test getting interrupted in the middle and secondly, you are able to close all the apps in the background.
Here's the link to application: englishtest.duolingo.com/download
To make sure all applications are closed follow the below steps once you open the DET test application.
Firstly make sure that you close all the applications that are visible in your task bar.
Secondly, check the arrow button which is to the left of wifi/internet icon on the bottom right of the screen.
make sure that there are no applications running in that.
if you're confused and couldn't find it, I recommend checking this video out: ua-cam.com/video/-82T_qCT3CY/v-deo.htmlsi=KenTsdERgpPdQa_G
Can we use chatgpt in new tab for writing while giving test?
Hello,
Not, your test will be Invalidated if your mouse pointer goes outside of the test screen.
Not only that but, that might also block your account and you won't be allowed to give another attempt in future.
So, I would suggest not doing so.
My account has been blocked . what should I do bro. Is there any choice to retake the test with another account. Please give reply as soon as possible.
Hello,
It is always recommended to use just one account from purchasing to giving an actual test.
I would recommend you reaching out to their support team by clicking help button on homepage of DET.
Thier chat support is pretty good and I think they'll be able to unblock your account.
hope that helps.
What's the reason ,why your account has been blocked?
We could not confirm the test was taken by the account owner. Duolingo is unvalidating my test due to this reason , what can i do for overcome this?
Hello,
I suggest you to appeal your Invalidation and try to explain them that you were the one who gave exam. There might be difference in the photo that is shown on your passport as that might have been taken a while ago.
Hope this helps.
Hey
You actively used more than one keyboard or mouse. This is not permitted. You may have multiple keyboards or mice connected, but you should use only one keyboard and one mouse during the test.
What should i do now? Can i give again this test? Or im banned from duolingo?
Hello,
I think that is a reason that they provided for Invalidation. It doesn't mean that you are banned from giving Duolingo again. If that would have been the case, you would've gotten another notification stating that you won't be eligible to give Duolingo again.
For the next time, my first suggestion to you would be use a working laptop. This will prevent you from falling into same trap again. You can borrow it from someone as it is just a matter of couple of hours for the test.
If nothing works out, you can make the use of external keyboard and mouse, however, you need to make sure that you don't switch between the laptop's keyboard/Mouse and external keyboard/Mouse. This makes DET curious that there is someone who is helping you in the test and hence invalidation.
Hope this helps.
I also face the same issue can you tell me they give you another chance for Duolingo exam?? Please inform me it is important for me
Hello sir, i have given duolingo test thrice , two times they said that " we could not confirm the test was taken by the account owner". What does this means?
Hello,
Did you not appeal the decision of invalidation?
I think the reason just means that they could not verify of you gave the test or someone else did.
You should reach out to thier support team to get more understanding on this.
And I would also recommend appealing the invalidation with proper explaination.
@@LearnwithNikunj I did , they were saying that due to some protocols, they can't deeply tell me the reason.
@@palaknirankari1042 That is not justified.
How can we work on something that is unknown?
Did you get this reply from their support team? or an explanation to your appeal?

Hello, please is the venue for the test steictly at our discretion?
Hello,
Yes, the venue of the test can be decided by you. My recommendation will be to sit in a separate room if you can. If not make sure that there are no movements happening behind you and also make sure that the lights are good.
@@LearnwithNikunj thank you so much.
Please one more thing, are the dates for the test automatic or do we choose them ourselves?
Once you purchase the test you can appear for test anytime of your choice within 21 days.
@@LearnwithNikunj Thank you so much.
For me it said "not certified because i had another program or windows or tabs opened during the test" even tho i closed all the tabs and nothing was running in background 😞i just don't understand what to do now
Hello,
I always recommend students to not use google browser to appear for test as many a times unknowingly your cursor can go out of the current screen or at times a new tab opens up by mistake. Any of such small mistakes can lead to invalidation.
Hence, I suggest students to download their official app and appear for test through that app.
here's the link for it : englishtest.duolingo.com/download
Your test could not be certified but they dont give any kind of rean if i click on learnmore option then all the rules are written under it but didn't written a specific reason what i do next?
Hello,
That's weird. I think you should reach out to the DET's. support team ti learn more about this.
You can click on help button on their homepage.
My exam is invalid. It says I looked away from screen multiple times.
Hello,
I am sorry to hear about that.
You need to make sure that you are continuously looking at the screen for the entire duration of the test.
In all the section of the test, you have be very careful and not let your eyes go hear or there.
If someone has casted his/her computer screen on tv using hdmi, that will also be reported to them ?
Hello,
I am not 100% sure if you can use TV as your external screen. The only issue I feel is that it would be more complicated to set up as I believe you need a camera as well and aligning it properly to make sure that it looks like you are looking at screen during test is needed.
I think you can confirm about using TV as your external display with DET's support team.
I'm confused in photos section we have see photo and mention about it then for that i lowered my eyes to examine photo then how he can give me invalid where should i look then
Hello,
In my opinion, I don't think they disqualify you for looking at different parts of screen. It has to do more about looking outside of screen.
Do you remember looking outside of screen while speaking or any other section?
If not, then maybe you should appeal your decision of invalidation with valid explanation.
I am sorry but the reason why face may not be visible is because of their tiny camera on the test. It's just incredibly hard and even impossible both to focus on the exam and adjusting camera every time since duo lingo camera frame is incredibly small. I believe this is the sompany who focuses less on quality
Hello,
I can understand what you're feeling right now. I completely agree to the fact that it can be really difficult to focus on staying in frame and also concentrate in formulating answer. I think the best practice would be to stay in one position throughout for one hour of test. I know that could be challenging but practicing it on a practice test could be a bit of a help on actual test.
Hope that helps.
@@LearnwithNikunj thanks. I'll try to do that
Sir I got in this way Today is my result. You looking away from the screen to for an extended period of time. Means ? Give some suggestions ?
Hello,
So as per their comment, you did not look at the screen while giving answers.
Remember you are always supposed to look at the screen for every section of the test.
If you peek outside of the screen for more times, then they suspect that there is someone that's helping you with the answers.
Sir can i use Bluetooth speaker or microphone for clearly voice and recording?
Hello,
Yes, you can use eternal speaker and mic. The only rule that DET has is that your eyes, mouth and ears should be clearly visible.
You cannot wear headphones as that will cover your ears.
Bro I got 4times not certified test result issue is during speaking section it was evident that you were reading a response that had been written out. Please suggest any solutions to overcome it.
Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your Invalidation.
This reason can have multiple causes, perhaps they felt that you were not looking at screen during the speaking section, which might make them feel that you were reading the response from somewhere.
Or you speed of speech can also make them feel that you were not giving a natural response.
It might have not been the case for you. You might have been honest while giving each attempt. But if that's the case, I strongly feel you should appeal your decision with valid explanation. If they accept your explanation, you might get another chance to appear for test.
My suggestion will be to stop looking outside of the screen at all during any section of the test. Yes, you can look at keyboard while typing but for rest of the section make sure you are looking at the screen. Secondly, make sure that your pace while speaking is not too fast or not too slow. Speak as if you are talking with someone. If you speak too fast, that makes them feel that you are reading or you prepared answer from beginning.
@@LearnwithNikunj thanks for your valuable suggestion
Hey I have also got invalided in speaking section repeating same response,I was so sad after getting that but after 1 day I have got my result certified how?
@@bikeshlama6104 Hello,
Did you mean your test was invalidated first and then it was certified?
@@LearnwithNikunj yes and I got 130 overall score
Im going to take my Duolingo can i use earphones for the listening and speaking seasons?
Hello,
No, you cannot use any kind of earphones on your certified test. The rule says that your eyes ears and mouth should be completely visible and should not be covered.
Can i use extra keyboard to attempt the Duolingo test?
Hello,
Yes you can use an external keyboard on your certified test.
The only thing you need to remember is that do not switch between the external keyboard to keyboard on laptop.
This can lead to invalidation.
Is it okay to do with the specs on...???
Hello,
Yes, most definitely, you can wear your glasses during the test.
Sir... I written exam result wat not certified becouse someone os present in my room.what the reason.. actually the person present when asked the our concern afterwards once exam started nobody was present ..
Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your invalidation.
As per DET, you are required to be alone in the room for the test duration of 1 hour.
Continuous Movement in the background may lead to invalidation with this reason.
I had appeared 3 times it always gets invalid one time it says that i had looked away and other two times it says during speaking session it was evident that 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. What should I do about it please help me about it?
Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your multiple invalidation.
Firstly, I want to ask you how do you appear for your speaking section?
What I mean by that is, are you looking at camera or are you looking outside of the screen for multiple times?
@@LearnwithNikunj I looked at the screen at whole time for that in got speaking session problem and for looking away from screen I had looked at the camera
@@mdsameer4895 So it is necessary to look at the screen for entire duration of the test. When you look at camera of laptop, it seems that you are looking above the screen which makes DET team feel that someone is helping you or you are reading the response.
So, remember the next time to keep looking at screen and no where else.
I’m getting an error saying that your curser left the browser window I just selected the answer and it says this error can someone please help me solve this
Hello,
Did your test get invalidated with this reason from DET?
well, I always recommend students to always donthe certified test on their official app.
here's the link to download: englishtest.duolingo.com/download
If you use thier app, you won't have time to fear of this error.
can we look on keyboard while typing or not? because what i think maybe they donot allow this thing
Hello,
Yes, you can look at the keyboard while typing and that is allowed by DET.
My suggestion to all the students is to keep switching your eyes in between keyboard and screen when you are typing so that your eyes are not off screen for extended time.
Hope that helps.
When i click on test then test not started and open so tell me what I should.
Hello,
Sorry but I don't quite understand the situation.
Do you mean that your test doesn't start when you click on start test?
If yes, then I believe there might have been some issue with purchasing the test.
Watch this video to make sure that you have booked the test correctly: ua-cam.com/video/3PMKJzIVfYg/v-deo.html

Hi bro i wrote Duolingo exam 2 tyms but 2 tyms my test was not certified one time speaking problem and another time you completed the written section independently but i wrote my exam own i didn't understand how to get my exam certified please give me any suggestions to get my certification
Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your invalidation.
There can be multiple reasons why DET team invalidated your test.
When giving the exam, did you use an external keyboard or mouse? If yes, then switching between the external keyboard and laptop's keyboard can get you invalidated.
My suggestion would be to not use external mouse or keyboard for your future test.
Secondly, when giving the exam make sure that you are alone in the room. Any movement behind you can make DET team suspicious and may lead to invalidation.
Lastly, make sure that your typing & speaking speed is normal and that you are looking at screen most of the time.
No bro I didn't use any external keyboard or mouse
@@Bhagi_Cute Did you appeal the decision of Invalidation?
If they accept your explanation, you might get a chance to appear for the test for free.
Hii bro I to have the same problem
Hi. I found your video helpful brother. I'm going to appear for the test on 21st of this month. I want to know that i already created an account from my cell phone and also gave a practice test on my phone only. But, now i guess laptops are compulsory for this and i don't own a laptop so I'll be using my friend's laptop for taking the test. However, i don't know how to close the other app functions and notifications🔔 so i don't receive them in the middle of my exam. Secondly, can i buy the test by logging in from my phone and then can i give it on a laptop?
Hello,
Thank you and I am glad that my videos are helpful. I think the best way to make sure all the apps are closed is by looking at task manager and closing all the unnecessary. Before starting the certified test, make sure that some of the auto correction software's like Grammarly are uninstalled.
Another suggestion from my side is to watch this video by DET to see how to close rest of the apps before giving test.
ua-cam.com/video/-82T_qCT3CY/v-deo.htmlsi=KJhQpP-htlGY5Fwx
And for your second question. Yes, you can purchase the test from cell phone. The only thing to consider is not having multiple ID which could potentially lead to invalidation. Just for the sake of simplicity, use one if to do everything.
@@LearnwithNikunj should I stop Or close all the applications? I mean some of them are important I guess like "Windows Audio", "Asus Optimization" (my laptop's internal function) & "Asus Software Manager" Etc...

Hello,

While speaking, make sure that you have a very natural tone and speed. Take pauses while speaking to make it more natural. don't look anywhere outside of screen while you speak (MOST IMPORTANT) as looking outside of screen makes the DET proctors feel that someone's helping you.

Hello,
So as per DET's comment, they feel like you were reading the response during your speaking section. They require the response to be on the spot and not memorized.
This can happen because of the speed of your speech.
You need to speak in a way which feels like you are having a conversation. Speak slowly and not with fast pace as speaking fast creates a misassumption that you are reading from some where.
Practice speaking slowly as that will help you get your test certified.

It is okay to use external keyboard on a certified test. The problem arises only when you switch between the keyboard within test. The DET may find it suspicious when your hand position changes from external keyboard to Laptop's.
This may not be scenario in your case, but DET has very strict with these rules.
Try to reach out to their support and explain your situation. They might reassess it.

Hello,
I am sorry to hear about that.
There can be multiple reasons why they thought you got assistance.
It can be that there might have been people moving behind you during the test or maybe you might have seen outside of the screen multiple times.
It is better to appeal their decision and explain them that it was a genuine attempt, and you did not cheat.
Once you appeal, if your explanation is accepted, you will be given an additional chance to give the test for free.

Hello,
I am sorry to hear about your invalidation.
I believe that the way how you speak matters in speaking section. There are other factors like looking away from screen again and again also makes DET think that you are reading responses from somewhere.
The next time when you are appearing for test, make sure that you are speaking at natural speed of your speech and make sure that you are not looking away from screen multiple times.

Hello,
I am sorry to hear about the invalidation.
I know the test can be complicated mainly because of their strict rules.
I would suggest you few things for the next time you take test.
Your eyes should stay only on screen and no where else for all the sections of test.
For writing section, you can look at the keyboard to type but make sure that constantly keep on checking the screen as well to see what you typed. This way your eyes will stay on screen most of the time.
Another thing is give test through their app rather than browser, as this will help you close all the background app before beginning the test.
To make sure that there are no background apps running, there are 2 steps that you need to follow :
Firstly make sure that you close all the applications that are visible in your task bar.
Secondly, check the arrow button which is to the left of Wi-Fi/internet icon on the bottom right of the screen.
make sure that there are no applications running in that.
if you're confused and couldn't find it, I recommend checking this video out: ua-cam.com/video/-82T_qCT3CY/v-deo.htmlsi=KenTsdERgpPdQa_G
Finally, I would also recommend reaching out to them via the HELP button on the DET website. Just ask them what extra measure should I take to make sure that I don't get Invalidated with the reason like "I didn't complete the written section independently".
I am pretty sure they will also suggest you to do few things to avoid that from happening.

From the response, it feels that you looked away from screen for multiple times.
It is always recommended to keep your eyes on screen for entire duration of test.
The reason why they are saying you might be reading the response is the same because when you look away from screen multiple times, they suspect that you have a response written somewhere and you are reading it while looking away from screen.
The next time you decide to give test, make sure that your eyes should be on screen not on camera, not anywhere else.
Hope this helps.
@@LearnwithNikunj honestly I did not. Yet I got this results. A question: if during exams we get a warning in between does that mean it’s automatically disqualified?
@@neethadsa7989 what warnings did you get in the middle of the test?
However, I think those are just warnings to make you understand that you should not do it again.
Doing it multiple times can cause invalidation.
just looking at the keyboard while typing Invalidate my exam ?
Hello,
Not really, just looking at the keyboard while typing cannot get you invalidated.
DET Have clearly mentioned it on their website that looking at keyboard while typing is okay. The problem arises when you look away from screen multiple times for rest of the sections when you are not required to look at the keyboard,
Got it... I am going to give my test tomorrow..wish me luck 😅
I wish you all the best for your test tomorrow.
Just couple of points that I think you need to remember while attempting your test.
Make sure that you are not looking anywhere other than screen for entire test duration. And yes, it is okay to look at keyboard while typing as I mentioned earlier.
Make sure that you are alone in the room while appearing for test, as movement in the background by anyone else can also be suspicious.
@@LearnwithNikunj I got my result. I got 130 and I am so happy 😊 😃
@@Insha-j4q Many congratulations on your score and I wish you Goodluck for your future.
My second account is loading my results and my exam got stopped at the start due to using of two email id can i get refund and how to block my secondary account
Hello,
Did they email you saying that your results are invalidated?
if yes, then you'll probably have to purchase the exam again in order to give another attempt.
If not, then you should reach out to them to understand how can you retake exam with the same purchase.
You can reach out to them by clicking on the Help button on the bottom right.
My account is getting loading and i dont get any mails regarding to the test and results on my account
@@nikhilanannapaneni9999The best way to resolve this is to reach out to the DET team via the help button on their website.
If I score 135 in literacy , 125 in comprehensive,125 in production and 115 in conversation , how much is my overall DET test please tell me how to calculate it
Hello,
So DET scores are based on two parts the Overall score and the score in 4 modules that you mentioned above.
So, taking marks of just 4 modules doesn't give you the correct estimate of the actual score.
But just to give you an estimate, I guess the actual score should be around 130 to 135 from the above sub scores.
Can i wear glasses and specs
Hello,
If you mean prescription glasses or reading glasses, yes you can wear it.
The rule says that your eyes, ears and mouth should be visible clearly.

Hello,
Unfortunately, I am not on Instagram currently.
But you can reach out to me with your questions through this email id: learnwithnikunj.duolingo@gmail.com.
Hi teacher, I did the test three time only one time uploaded tow time didn't upload I don't know why
@@BaharNimer Did they charge you for 3 tests?
Sir typing ke time pr keyboard me dekh sakte he kya ??
Yes, you can look at the keyboard to type, however keep checking what you typed and that way you can keep your eyes on screen.
Sir in laptop we can use extra keyboard. Can't it
Hi Team,
I was doing the test in Study Makers which is my Duolingo test but in the middle of speaking my headteacher came into my room because she didn't know about my test (that I was doing). So my point is that it's not my intention to do all this. Please understand my main point. That's why i want to reapply for my test so duolingo give me second chance or not
Hello,
It is really hard to convince DET that the interruption was legit and there was no wrong intention about it.
DET is completely online exam and hence they follow such strict guideline to make sure that everything is transparent.
I am guessing that you are already in conversation with them about this. So, do keep us updated about what the final decision was.
"Do I need a laptop? I have a desktop."
Hello,
No, It's not necessary to have a laptop. All you need is a working computer with a good webcam and speaker in case of desktop. And you should be good.
@@LearnwithNikunj Thanks, sir.
@@LearnwithNikunjyou had another program application during the test.please close all the program.
@@lucarioyt8705 Hello,
You need to make sure that all the background applications are closed.
Use Control panel > Task manager > close all the applications that you see there.
How to type without looking the keyboard a bit
Hello,
There is no need to type without looking at keyboard.
The problem arises when you look outside of screen for any other section.
DET has clearly mentioned that it is okay to look at keyboard while typing.
I always suggest students to look at keyboards but also keep on checking the screen to see what you you typed.
in this way your eyes are not off screen for long time.
Hope this helps.
