Hi, Teacher Luke here,
Happy New Year! Wishing you an amazing 2025 🎆
You might be wondering: How does the Duolingo English Test (DET) look in 2025? Are there any big changes coming? 🤔
As of today, the DET remains exactly the same as it was in the second half of 2024. (Scroll down to see the full list of question types 👇).
However, I anticipate changes around April time, as that’s when DET typically updates the test. So, let's talk about these changes.

🧐 What changes in 2025?
One likely update is a brand-new Interactive Speaking question! 😮
You might have seen it on the official practice exam.

In this potential new question, you'll participate in a conversation with one of Duolingo's AI characters.
The character will ask you questions on a specific topic (e.g., education), and it seems that you'll have about 30 seconds to answer each one.
For example 👇
- What are you currently studying?
- What motivates people to learn new things?
- Do you think the way people learn new things has changed?
- Do you think distance learning is effective?
- How do you think technology will change the way people learn?
I don’t know much about this new speaking question yet or when it will be added to the exam. However, as soon as I learn more, I’ll share it with you!
✅ List of Current Question Types (January 2025)
If you are planning on taking the exam soon, then here’s what the DET looks like (as of today):
- Read and Select: 1 set of 15-18 words
- Fill in the Blanks: 1 set of 6-9 sentences
- Read and Complete: 3-6 times on the test
- Read Aloud: 3-6 times
- Listen and Type: 4-9 times
- Interactive Listening / Summary: 2 times
- Interactive Reading: 2 times
- Write About the Photo: 3 times
- Speak About the Photo: 1 time
- Interactive Writing: 1 time
- Read, Then Speak: 1 time
- Listen, Then Speak: 2 times
