Hi Teacher Sally, I took the actual test and received an overall score of 140, with subscores of 145,145,130 and 125 on all the four sections. Thanks teacher, I watched your videos and prepared for the exam an evening before that. May you have a very happy life ahead, teaching someone is one of the noblest professions and you are doing it excellently! God bless, always!
Helllooo, I've gotta take the test in October, and I'm preparing to be sure in the knowledge I'm gaining through these kind of videos, and I want to hear or read from someone who brought more tan 125 points, what is the 'hardest' part and with wich I have to be more careful with? :D
Greetings! I am very glad that I have come across your videos, Teacher Sally! Thanks to your lessons, I have enhanced my score and I have got my targeted one.
very nice examples. i realized that pacing your speech is very important and picking adjectives ahead and keeping it simple is good approach. Thank you Sally.
@@jibinjacobm7398 Hi Jacob, i got lucky actually hahah they asked me to write what country i would go if i could go anywhere in the world and why. In the speaking part i guess they asked me to discuss if fame is a good thing or not.
Your channel seems so helpful for Duolingo english test. Just subscribed it. Looking forward to start my preparation for Duolingo test with your videos. Thanks for this 😊
This photographs shows that it's an event of India's Culture. I've seen this customs in Indian's dramas and movies.In the foreground,A girl who weared a purple dupatta and mustard kurti with flourish embroidery had a plate her hand ,also color n her face that showed that she is in happy mood.In the background,I could see couple of people who were enjoying these cherish moments and sprinkling rainbow colors to each other.
Great job. Keep in mind "this" would be for one, but you have the word "custom" plural.. so change either "this" to "these" or "customs to custom" Weared- change it to wears or wore- for past tense. Be careful with punctuation. You should always have a space after a period or comma. In stead of: "she is in a happy mood.In the..." make sure it's like this: "she is in a happy mood. In the.." "color n her face" do you mean "the color of her face shows"? Overall good job, but the most important thing here is the punctation. Make sure to leave space after the punctuation mark.
1. This picture depicts an old man handelling a boat in the middle of a lake. In the background, we can barely see some mountains so, I would suggest that that day was a bit foggy.
You are so cute mam.. Ur way of teaching is best of the best.. Plz make more n more videos on duolingo speaking test.. I m eagerly waiting for ur next video...!! Thanks a lot.. For helping our small village people
This picture depicts a man is standout center of boat in river.In his hand he hold a net try put in water to caught a fish. In the background mountain are filled with trees .its pleasant to see.its a morning time because the clouds are fluffy. The man wear a cap. In the foreground waves like water it's surrounded by boat. The circumstances looks very marvelous
This image shows a relaxing and peaceful sun desk on the sea.In the background there is a ship moving towards the dock.Moreover, it could be a mountain on the right part of the background
Ma'am I am preparing for duolingo english test. Practice of each type of questions are avialable on youtube except practice of describing an image. Please make more video on this type of question.
This is the depiction of the rural areas.In the foreground , It appear plethora crops in the left side of the picture and fully occupied the areas.With the prediction of the greenery I could imagine that It's a village side picture.I am seeing a clean straight road which goes to urbanside, might be there would be houses of the villagers where they live.The bluish sky is covered with fluffy clouds.In the background,I love the green part areas which are closest to the houses.
I would change "It appear plethora" to "There appears to be a plethora of crops" - plethora is a good word to use, but usually we say a plethora of something. Be careful with punctuation to leave spaces after each punctuation mark.
This picture shows a fisherman trying to throw in his net in the river. In the background, I could see a boot and some other fishing equipments. In the foreground, there are mountains sounding the river.
The picture illustrates that picture is taken in the forest.In the foreground,I can see that two wolves are in angry mood might be they're fighting to each other because of the food and third wolf is wandering something might be his eyes become very close to his food.In the background, the area is covered of greenery.
I would leave off "illustrates that" because illustrates that would be used to describe more action. For this opening you chould just say "This picture is taken in the forest." '..in an angry mood" - mood is a noun, so you need the article. "covered with greenery" Overall good job!
This picture demonstrates that a man who is wearing a Hoad and wants to catch the fishes.He is standing in the boat with the net catcher in his hand and finding some fishes.In the foreground , I can see a clear pictures of the waves of the water.In the background ,I can see a small house which is something unique and also mountains shows the beauty of nature.The right side area is covered with greenery which enhances the beauty of house.
Great job, overall! Be careful with spelling - hood. The plural of fish is fish. Just say "the net". You have "a clear pictures" - if it is "a" then keep "Picture" singular.
1.The photograph depicts a fisher man standing in a ferry to catches fishes on the lake.In the foreground the flowing water seems to be fresh to use where as in the background there is a small house probably belongs to the fisher man.It seems that the sun is rising behind the mountains.
Great response! A couple of suggestions: "fisherman" is one word. With "to" we use simple present: so "to catch fish" (the word "fish" is the singular and also plural form). Great job! I do like the description!
This image depicts a young lady sprinkling colourful powder and she seems to be in a happy mood. In the foreground, I could see a lot of people in a fastive and jubilant mood while in the background, It shows colourful powder been sprinkled by the lady .
Hi! I will take my test next week. Your videos give me a better perspective of the answers, thank you! I'm so excited to start university. I have been a year learning English!
Hello sally Thank you for your videos. i will take the test tonight but i am nervous about the interview question because the university will see it could you help me prepare for it.
This picture depicts that the mesmerised view of the nature taken by photographer.In the foreground, It appears the arising of the water how it runs smoothly.In the middle of the water one ship is going which shows that people are inside it and enjoying this view or might be something are going to be export inside the boat to other country.In the background,It seems to be yellowish sun and it's light are spreading around all over the view.The main crisp of the mountains which enriches the beauty.
I recommend changing "mesmerized" to "mesmerizing" because it is you that is mesmerized, not nature. Add "the" before photographer because it is a noun. In the next line, you could say "It appears the water is smooth." I'm a little bit confused by the sentence, so I'm not sure what you are describing as arising. I would end the sentence after 'view' and begin a new one with "Maybe the boat is carrying an export to another country." Then for the next part "its light is spreading" - light is noncount.
The image depicits a pack of wolves interacting in a forest.It could be a disappointing moment for them as they look sad.In the background there are plethora of green leaves that always render fresh oxygen into the atomospehere.
Thank you Ma Sally,I really find it interesting watching your video. I'm just a little nervous about describing a picture aloud,how composed I will be..my question is.. when a mistake is done while speaking aloud,does it reduces my score? Of cus,I will have to correct myself.
Actually when you spoke about the pictures, I heard a lot of repetitive words like, assume, seem or you explained more about golden sunset. I wanna know, this point can reduce our score or we should explain the picture as we can talk?
Hi Sally, you are a real teacher of DUOLINGO. I have watched almost all the videos and want to say 'Thank You', Teacher. I found some video as a private video, so I could not watched it. Is there any way to watch it?
I need to delete those. One of them is my footage for a collaboration with another channel. The others are where I uploaded videos and then found mistakes before they published so I edited them. I didn't realize they showed up for you. Don't worry- you aren't missing anything at all!
@@TeacherSally OK and Thank you I have watched all of them and I find it very useful. I am also waiting for your next video about writing with some more cool topics. I am Indin and in India we have culture that teachers are always respected person as equal as our parents and you are a good teacher. 🙏🙏 Thank You.
The given picture is about a boat in a river in the top right there was a tree and in the background we can see the blue river streaching to the horizon and at the bottom there was a boat.At the first glance, it seemed like a girl was dancing, By observing closely I found have it to be the girl were enjoying the boat travelling
Great response! I advise that you keep the tense consistent in stead of going from past to present. Usually we would describe a photo in present tense. The last sentence is a little confusing to me because of the word order: "I have found it to be that the girl is enjoying the boat."
This is a beautiful view of sunset at the beach this photo was taken at twilight there are ships on the horizons the big ship is realy nice in the foreground ground i cant see clearly the cliff
Hello teacher Sally, in real exam I got the image of two horses and another one is a boy is standing and in front of him so many photographs and for writing i have one image of helicopter which is high in the sky.
Your video is very informative and useful so can you make it daily on different questions types and give me tips so I achieved my desired score. I got 100 in duolingo first time and when I appeared in second time I got 90 only so I don’t achieved my target . So please, can you give me suggestions regarding exam
I'm so glad that you find my videos helpful! I wish I had time to make videos daily. Its difficult to find more time with my job. I see your other comment as well. I think a really great way to practice C-test is to go through the process of making these questions. So I would advise that you get any new article or Wikipedia story and practice taking a paragraph and cutting every other word in half. Then the next day or two go back and answer them. It starts to make you see the spelling patterns in English- You become aware of prefixes and suffixes. Yes, you'll probably remember a lot of your answers, but its mainly to notice these word endings. I will make some more videos, but in the mean time this is a good way to practice.
@@TeacherSally hi can you help me I want to take my exam on this weekend....and so I want know about the recent writing questions ..bcz I'm weeker in writing
Madam, your is really helpful. Can you please tell me from where I can get the practice test. Do I need to first register for the exam in order to get the practice tests ?
Hi sally, kindly review my response as targeting for 125+ for the exam. 2 Image -> the picture depicts people here are enjoying the colours of holi whereas Holi is an Indian festival of colours which is celebrated in every family of the country. In the foreground, girls seem to be jubilant and amazing time with colours.In the background, people are also having fun with colors by putting them on each other.
Another great response. You've explained the picture very well! I have some grammar points: The word "whereas" suggests contradiction, so I would leave that word out in this case. End the sentence after Holi since you are changing your thought, and remember to put a capital letter since Holi is a proper noun (name of a holiday). By the way, it is ok to have "Holi" written twice next to each other when they are separated by a period. Add "having an"- "...girls seem to be jubilant and having an amazing time with colors."
I wish you all the best! I think the most important thing is to remember to allow yourself to breathe and think about your answers. If the questions are hard, don't panic-it means you are answering well enough that its giving you more difficult questions!
2. The image shows a festive moment of girls throwing clourful powders into air .There is another woman standing right to her to sprinkle powder into the air.In the background there are plethora of people enjoying holy ,Indian festival of colours, in a room.
I gave my duolingo test twice.But both attempts were invalid for the same reason and the reason I got from them is "Your speaking response appears to be rehearsed or written out in advance".I really cant understand their reason but I didn't practice anything in advance.I also contacted their support service but they are not explaining what mistake I made.please help me out,how to get score without this problem. I need to send score to my college.
I've read about that happening to several people. I really cannot understand it either because there is no way to know the question in advance! If it were me, and I had gotten the response, I would quit giving a topic sentence for example I wouldn't say "this picture depicts" I would just start for example, "A fisherman is in the lake...." And for the spoken question, skip the topic sentence there, too and go straight into your opinion. The reason is that I cannot imagine any other thing they could think is rehearsed other than the beginning of the topic sentence. Did they write back anything to you?
Teacher Sally, I demanded a reasonable explanation why is this happening because throughout the test I never looked outside the screen not even once,but they are just saying “we are not authorized to say anything”
@@yaswanthiseeram6407 I keep trying to reply and losing my responses... if you're getting double- i'm sorry. I just don't understand their problem or why they won't explain. I think the best you can do is to try to avoid topic sentences because that is the only thing I can possibly imagine that could sound rehearsed. You don't have the prompts in advance, so there really is no way to rehearse anything. If you are following any templates, make sure you change the words to fit the way you speak naturally. That really is all I can think of. It's really awful and I'm sorry you're dealing with it! :-(.
This picture shows a fisherman standing in the center of the lake and he's try to throw mending net for fishes .in the background, there is a beautifull view of morning and blured mountains in the top left corner also, sun is rising behind the mountains . There is a big tree and a small hut in the top right hand corner . In the center of the picture , a man standing on a boat in a beautiful lake and he wear a big hat and he is holding a net maybe he's try to catch a fishes .
Hi teacher! Is there this type of question with 3 min to Describe a Picture? Are you sure ? In the test I think we must take 1 min speaking about in this type of question
I think different people get different versions of it. I had 3 minutes but I took the test a few months ago. It may have changed. I never get the question on the practice, and when I asked them in their live chat, they sent me to a document that doesn’t include the question. I’ve had a hard time trying to learn if this has changed or if the question is even still in the test.
@@TeacherSally Thank you so much one more time! Then in the test that you took there were! I have not already taken the test yet , only simulation. However to practise is always very good
Hey mam I'm feeling so difficulty in the actual test of a task when the question listen then the reply any tips for the question please share with me mam...
Practice is the only real solution I know of. Watch videos of dictations in English and just practice doing them as much as you can! Listening is hard, and then trying to write what you hear is hard. The more you do it, the better you will get at it. Don't focus on the spelling, just focus on capturing what you hear as best you can. With practice, you will improve.
This photo shows the Fisher man catches the fishes into the deep sea fisher man standing on the boat in the background cliff and trees or building may be small building is fisher2man house this photo was taken at morning time
@@Account-em2oc go to the website where you took the test and at the bottom of the screen it will either say "help" or "chat." I believe the chat is only available Monday-Friday, so you may have to wait until tomorrow. In the US many things are closed on the weekend.
I scored 150. I lost points on a speaking question because I totally blanked out. I haven’t taken it a second time, but I’m curious to try now that I’ve studied this test so much! Haha.
Hello mam! I am practicing this test on Duolingo website and my score till now was around... 115-140 110-125 120-145 should I give official real test within a 2 days? And yes your videos help me a lot! Thank you so much mam!
I'm getting these grades too, but I don't trust so much in these practice tests as a way to measure or to estimate how well are we going to be in the real test. I'm practicing every day for taking it since 2 weeks ago and I had my total practice scores around 105 and 150, but I still don't trust it for a comparison with the real one. When you take your real test share with me your experience!
Hlw ma’am. Thank you for your such handy videos. I have a request to you .. please describe the rainy days scenary specially the images where rain water drops in the roads and makes some round shapes un water ..how to describe this features plzz let me know how you will explain it. Thanks 😊
We call that a puddle. You could describe it as "Water has accumulated into a puddle." Or you could say "There is a small puddle of water in the street."
Hello Teacher Sally! I have a question. Tomorrow I am planning to take my Duolingo test. While learning the requirements I came across one that says face( I can’t remember if it said head) has to be uncovered. And I am covered but not my face. My ears, neck, and head are totally covered. What should I do?
Bleu R yes! I did live chat n asked about it she said that should have not been a problem at all. I took my test not prepared n got 110. Planning to take next month again. Will get prepared. Now I am aware of what to expect
After looking closely at the picture I notice that this is a close up young girl she playing with the clour because this funcation is holi funcation and she have plethora fun with another her hair clour is black her skin tone pale she pick a plate on her hand in the foreground i can see diverse people and enjoy holi people weras beautiful and colourful dreases she put some clour on her face
This photo illustrate there is clear blue sky it's looks scorching hot day this photo must gas been taken in the summer there are a lot of greenery field in the middle the clean street i think this is a farmer field place crops grow fast and good
Yes, and I'm not even sure everyone gets this question. Also, some people seem to get 30 seconds to answer, some get a minute, and I don't know if that depends on when they took the test or not.
When is your deadline to give the score to the school? If it’s soon, focus on your beat skills. Sometimes it’s easier to improve the areas we are good in. If you have more time, go back and review your weaker skills. In general, focus on using synonyms in your writing prompts and really take time to go back an de-read what you have written to make sure the grammar is accurate. It’s so easy to leave out verbs or plural -s. I always think it’s a good idea to re-read what we have written. You can even tell that in some of my videos that I have made mistakes by not re-reading and students have found my mistakes! I am proof to say that it is very important and everyone makes these mistakes. Fixing those mistakes can really boost your scores.

The given picture is about a boat in a river in the top right there was a tree and in the background we can see the blue river streaching to the horizon and at the bottom there was a boat.At the first glance, it seemed like a girl was dancing, By observing closely I found have it to be the girl were enjoying the boat travelling
Great response! I advise that you keep the tense consistent in stead of going from past to present. Usually we would describe a photo in present tense. The last sentence is a little confusing to me because of the word order: "I have found it to be that the girl is enjoying the boat."
Can I know dulingo test accept by Canadian high commission. If I apply for the student visa
This is a beautiful view of sunset at the beach this photo was taken at twilight there are ships on the horizons the big ship is realy nice in the foreground ground i cant see clearly the cliff

Hello teacher Sally, in real exam I got the image of two horses and another one is a boy is standing and in front of him so many photographs and for writing i have one image of helicopter which is high in the sky.
Thank you for sharing that! It will be very helpful to others!
Thank you so mach
Love from Bangladesh....
Your video is very informative and useful so can you make it daily on different questions types and give me tips so I achieved my desired score. I got 100 in duolingo first time and when I appeared in second time I got 90 only so I don’t achieved my target .
So please, can you give me suggestions regarding exam
I'm so glad that you find my videos helpful! I wish I had time to make videos daily. Its difficult to find more time with my job. I see your other comment as well. I think a really great way to practice C-test is to go through the process of making these questions. So I would advise that you get any new article or Wikipedia story and practice taking a paragraph and cutting every other word in half. Then the next day or two go back and answer them. It starts to make you see the spelling patterns in English- You become aware of prefixes and suffixes. Yes, you'll probably remember a lot of your answers, but its mainly to notice these word endings. I will make some more videos, but in the mean time this is a good way to practice.
@@TeacherSally hi can you help me I want to take my exam on this weekend....and so I want know about the recent writing questions ..bcz I'm weeker in writing
Super 👍👍👍
Hello mam my socre 80to 110 or 85to 125 in duo..you give me advice that i should buy the test
Hii mam how should I apply for really exam plzz share me the link
Madam, your is really helpful. Can you please tell me from where I can get the practice test. Do I need to first register for the exam in order to get the practice tests ?
Yes, there is an unlimited one on the official website. You need to register first.
My Duolingo account is blocked can i register for another new account ..
Hi sally, kindly review my response as targeting for 125+ for the exam.
2 Image -> the picture depicts people here are enjoying the colours of holi whereas Holi is an Indian festival of colours which is celebrated in every family of the country. In the foreground, girls seem to be jubilant and amazing time with colours.In the background, people are also having fun with colors by putting them on each other.
Another great response. You've explained the picture very well! I have some grammar points: The word "whereas" suggests contradiction, so I would leave that word out in this case. End the sentence after Holi since you are changing your thought, and remember to put a capital letter since Holi is a proper noun (name of a holiday). By the way, it is ok to have "Holi" written twice next to each other when they are separated by a period. Add "having an"- "...girls seem to be jubilant and having an amazing time with colors."
@@TeacherSally thank you for ur valuable response should i need to practice more of them then go for test or i can give my test.
pia sharma if you have the scores you need on the practice test then go for it! Good luck!!
The video is helpful, I appreciate your efforts.
Thank you Mom
I will take the exam after tomorrow any advice ,,,,,
I wish you all the best! I think the most important thing is to remember to allow yourself to breathe and think about your answers. If the questions are hard, don't panic-it means you are answering well enough that its giving you more difficult questions!
@@TeacherSally Thank teacher I will do the best I can make u proud
@@AhmedAli-rg3wz I'm already proud of you for working so hard!
This is the festival of colours which is known as HOLI. Major festival of India.
2. The image shows a festive moment of girls throwing clourful powders into air .There is another woman standing right to her to sprinkle powder into the air.In the background there are plethora of people enjoying holy ,Indian festival of colours, in a room.
Great response! I love the word "plethora!" Remember to capitalize the name of a festival.
I gave my duolingo test twice.But both attempts were invalid for the same reason and the reason I got from them is
"Your speaking response appears to be rehearsed or written out in advance".I really cant understand their reason but I didn't practice anything in advance.I also contacted their support service but they are not explaining what mistake I made.please help me out,how to get score without this problem. I need to send score to my college.
I've read about that happening to several people. I really cannot understand it either because there is no way to know the question in advance! If it were me, and I had gotten the response, I would quit giving a topic sentence for example I wouldn't say "this picture depicts" I would just start for example, "A fisherman is in the lake...." And for the spoken question, skip the topic sentence there, too and go straight into your opinion. The reason is that I cannot imagine any other thing they could think is rehearsed other than the beginning of the topic sentence. Did they write back anything to you?
Teacher Sally, I demanded a reasonable explanation why is this happening because throughout the test I never looked outside the screen not even once,but they are just saying “we are not authorized to say anything”
@@yaswanthiseeram6407 I keep trying to reply and losing my responses... if you're getting double- i'm sorry. I just don't understand their problem or why they won't explain. I think the best you can do is to try to avoid topic sentences because that is the only thing I can possibly imagine that could sound rehearsed. You don't have the prompts in advance, so there really is no way to rehearse anything. If you are following any templates, make sure you change the words to fit the way you speak naturally. That really is all I can think of. It's really awful and I'm sorry you're dealing with it! :-(.
Hello Madam. I wanted to know, can I get Canada Visa with duolingo test.
Thank you Teacher
You are welcome. Thank you for watching!
Pictire 2

There is a big tree and a small hut in the top right hand corner . In the center of the picture , a man standing on a boat in a beautiful lake and he wear a big hat and he is holding a net maybe he's try to catch a fishes .
And his net bloming in the air. At the top of the picture a blue sky invisible because of some fog in the sky .
Hlo mam plzz play some videos on listening tasks
I will make some. In the mean time, there is a playlist for dictations: th-cam.com/play/PLNy9PdSjN39pDmuzoAP-hDLCrcAEBlS7H.html
Do they give all 3 minutes for describing an image? I don't see it to be 3 minutes. it's just 60seconds.
She's talking about describing an image aloud, the section describing an image written in only 60 sec
Hi teacher! Is there this type of question with 3 min to Describe a Picture? Are you sure ? In the test I think we must take 1 min speaking about in this type of question
I think different people get different versions of it. I had 3 minutes but I took the test a few months ago. It may have changed. I never get the question on the practice, and when I asked them in their live chat, they sent me to a document that doesn’t include the question. I’ve had a hard time trying to learn if this has changed or if the question is even still in the test.
@@TeacherSally Thank you so much one more time! Then in the test that you took there were! I have not already taken the test yet , only simulation. However to practise is always very good
Yes. Practice and be prepared for anything! I remember being surprised by this question because I wasn’t expecting it.
great
Hey mam I'm feeling so difficulty in the actual test of a task when the question listen then the reply any tips for the question please share with me mam...
Practice is the only real solution I know of. Watch videos of dictations in English and just practice doing them as much as you can! Listening is hard, and then trying to write what you hear is hard. The more you do it, the better you will get at it. Don't focus on the spelling, just focus on capturing what you hear as best you can. With practice, you will improve.
This photo shows the Fisher man catches the fishes into the deep sea fisher man standing on the boat in the background cliff and trees or building may be small building is fisher2man house this photo was taken at morning time
Hello meam i am feel timid when i speak english
Vietnam Traditional Hat 💁🏻♀️💖
I took the duolingo test two days ago but my results still didn’t came yet what should I do ?
I think you should get your results, soon. You could go on live chat to ask them about it.
Teacher Sally: English Tips and Practice how can I go on a live chat please tell me
@@Account-em2oc go to the website where you took the test and at the bottom of the screen it will either say "help" or "chat." I believe the chat is only available Monday-Friday, so you may have to wait until tomorrow. In the US many things are closed on the weekend.
Teacher Sally: English Tips and Practice thank you ❤️
Hi Teacher Sally, may I know the score you got after taking the real test ?
I scored 150. I lost points on a speaking question because I totally blanked out. I haven’t taken it a second time, but I’m curious to try now that I’ve studied this test so much! Haha.
Hi,Ms. Sally , i will thankful for u if u could do a 50 word topic question on on for duolingo test.
I will work on it!
I took the test yesterday and did not get this in it.
good! Maybe they are phasing it out. I noticed it hasn't been in the practice tests.
Wow. I hope you make another video with the same topic of describing pictures
Hello mam!
I am practicing this test on Duolingo website and my score till now was around...
115-140
110-125
120-145
should I give official real test within a 2 days?
And yes your videos help me a lot! Thank you so much mam!
I'm getting these grades too, but I don't trust so much in these practice tests as a way to measure or to estimate how well are we going to be in the real test. I'm practicing every day for taking it since 2 weeks ago and I had my total practice scores around 105 and 150, but I still don't trust it for a comparison with the real one.
When you take your real test share with me your experience!
Kindly tell me scores are shown right after the Duolingo test or after a few days?
Hlw ma’am. Thank you for your such handy videos. I have a request to you .. please describe the rainy days scenary specially the images where rain water drops in the roads and makes some round shapes un water ..how to describe this features plzz let me know how you will explain it. Thanks 😊
We call that a puddle. You could describe it as "Water has accumulated into a puddle." Or you could say "There is a small puddle of water in the street."
Hello Teacher Sally! I have a question. Tomorrow I am planning to take my Duolingo test. While learning the requirements I came across one that says face( I can’t remember if it said head) has to be uncovered. And I am covered but not my face. My ears, neck, and head are totally covered. What should I do?
Did you take the test? How did you do?
I hope you did great!
Bleu R yes! I did live chat n asked about it she said that should have not been a problem at all. I took my test not prepared n got 110. Planning to take next month again. Will get prepared. Now I am aware of what to expect
@@mukhiddin6442 that's so good with no preparation!
Great job, you should be proud
I hope you get an even higher score next time
All the best
Bleu R thank you! That was enough for my application

This comes up only once in every real test.
Yes, and I'm not even sure everyone gets this question. Also, some people seem to get 30 seconds to answer, some get a minute, and I don't know if that depends on when they took the test or not.
3 time invalid ?? 💔🤲
Hello Ma'am, I have watched all your video and I have got 105, but I need 120 or above. Please, help me how can I improve and get my desired score?
When is your deadline to give the score to the school? If it’s soon, focus on your beat skills. Sometimes it’s easier to improve the areas we are good in. If you have more time, go back and review your weaker skills. In general, focus on using synonyms in your writing prompts and really take time to go back an de-read what you have written to make sure the grammar is accurate. It’s so easy to leave out verbs or plural -s. I always think it’s a good idea to re-read what we have written. You can even tell that in some of my videos that I have made mistakes by not re-reading and students have found my mistakes! I am proof to say that it is very important and everyone makes these mistakes. Fixing those mistakes can really boost your scores.
What was you Duolingo test results?
