Computer
In order to take the Duolingo English Test, you will need a computer with a functioning microphone, speakers, and camera. Your camera should be on the top-middle of your monitor or screen, if possible.
2-in-1 tablet devices such as Surface Pro or Samsung Galaxy Tablets may not function properly with the test.
Valid Identity Document
The Duolingo English Test requires a government-issued photo ID. You will need to have your actual, physical ID ready when taking the test. During test setup, you will take a photo of your ID. You may not use copies or pictures of the ID card or passport. If you have questions about whether your ID will be accepted, you can refer to the Accepted IDs page or you may contact support.
Phone
You will need to use a phone with a camera to record your computer during the test. The phone should be fully charged or plugged into a charger throughout the test.
Internet connection
You will need an internet connection with at least 2 Mbps download speed and 1 Mbps upload speed. We recommend using a stable, wired ethernet internet connection instead of using Wi-Fi or mobile hotspot services. You can type “internet speed test” into most search engines and find a quick and free way to test your speed. You will also need a small amount of storage on your computer to download the Duolingo English Test desktop app.
