Hello, There won't be any person online guiding you online. The information will be displayed on the screen and you will have to follow them. You don't have to worry about it, they are pretty straightforward and easy as long as you read it completely.
Hello, I would suggest you to use an external mouse in combination with external keyboard. The reason is, when you use external keyboard and inbuilt mouse pad. if by mistake you switch and type some words using inbuilt keyboard, then that could be you reason for invalidation. This is very easy to happen during the test and we don't realize it. I always recommend students to use inbuilt keyboard and mouse and if not that, then use external keyboard and mouse. Switiching from one to another form may/will lead to invalidation. Although the recent use of secondary camera should help DET with these kind of scenarios. But it is always better to stay safe than sorry.
Hello, No you don't. When you start the test, there will be instructions ti set up your phone. Following the instructions, your phone will start recording by itself, then begin your test.
Hello , I don’t have a laptop or computer Is it possible and valid to give test in mobile phone While I can record the test on another mobile phone ? Or is it compulsory to give test in computer , I am slow in computer keyboard but I am pretty fast in mobile keyboard Just the time saving thing. I would love your advice on this !
Hello, I understand your concern and I am afraid that taking the test on your phone is not an option. You have to take it on a computer as per adviced by DET.
@@sihameghaprabashwara6025 There is no wrong position as long as you are capturing the correct angle as shown during the setup process. DET recommends to position the phone horizontally as it becomes easy to get the correct angle.
And also when I am scanning the barcode, the duolingo test permission is also not popping up , Do I have to go to mail and and also need to start test from there or I have to install some kind of application ?
You don't really need to. So the steps will be like 1. open the camera and scan the code. 2. Follow the instructions to turn on the DND mode. 3. Then your browser should ask your to allow it to open the camera which then you need to place in such a way that your computer/ Laptop screen and keyboard are visible. These steps should be common for all students. You don't need to follow any link in the email. If you are still facing issues with camera not opening up, then I would suggest you reach out to the DETs support team and they should be able to help you.
Hello, I think it is best to place it Horizontal as it captures the view of laptop's screen and you keyboard, which is exactly what they are looking for.
One thing I had to ask that, I am going to give my Duolingo test in upcoming days and I have two accounts on Duolingo English Test.Is it wrong to have two accounts in any sense? Means I can purchase my test from any account I want. Am I right? Regards
So, it is always best & safe practice to just have one account linked or created on DET website. I would suggest you to reach out to DET's team to get other account delinked/deactivated as it may lead to problem when it's time to get your results. You can reqch out to them simply by clicking on help button and start a chat with one of their support team member.
Sir, I have an important question. Actually I am getting various answers. I can't type without looking down at the keyboard will that be a problem? Can i completely look at the keyboard while typing or do I have to look at the screen
Hello, So, you don't need to look at screen while typing. You can keep your eyes on keyboard while typing. There is no rule on DET's website which doesn't allow you to look at keyboard while typing. It totally depends on you whether you want to completely look at the keyboard throughout writings section or type a word and look at screen to see if you typed it correctly. The reason of invalidation "Looked away from screen" only happens if your eyes are off screen in sections other than writing. I hope this helps.
Hi, I put my phone on DND, and even Airplane mode, yet notifications are coming. Will this affect the recording? What more should I do for the secondary camera setup?
Hello, Yes, any kind of notifications will cause an interruption and may lead to failed attemp. But I think that the airplane mode should shut down all the notification. What other notifications are you seeing when on airplane mode?
@@LearnwithNikunj Notifications from apps like flipkart, youtube etc are still coming, but since phone is in silent mode, there is no sound. I tried a practice test today with the secondary camera setup(airplane and dnd) and after the test, realised that all notifications were still showing up.
Hello, Once you complete all the pre test steps and recording starts, Your phone automatically won't fall into sleep mode. It will keep recording until the end of the test. That is what the DET team has mentioned. So you don't have to take any additional steps for that.
@@LearnwithNikunj Thanks for the reply. took the test last week and test became invaild due to some camera issue or so. afraid to set up the camera again...
Absolutely, Camera set up is done before the test starts. So you can let someone help you to get the correct angle. But be mindful once the set up is done, no one is around or with you before you move to the next step.
Good morning sir. Please if one is unable to scan the qr code. How can he proceed by typing in the website. Because when I opened the website I saw write ups and videos of a lady and teacher Luke on how to use a secondary camera. After the videos, I did not see any instruction on how to begin the text. Kindly put me through sir. Thank you.
Hello, If you are unable to scan the QR code, there should be a link just above the QR Code which you can type manually on your mobile browser. Let me know if that work for you.
@LearnwithNikunj Hello sir. I typed the website and it opened but all I saw were write ups There was no instruction on how to begin the text or oportunity to get to i did it you talked about. I have paid for the text and am willing to start the text even now. Thank you
It seems like an issue from DET's end. I would suggest you reach out to DET's support team on this one. They will be able to resolve any issues related to phone not able to record. you can contact them by clicking on help button on thier homepage.
@@ezeogugift1675 Hello, In such cases, it is best to reach out to their support team. They might be able to troubleshoot the issue at their end and you shall be able to begin the test after that.
Hello, No, it is still required to only look at screen while speaking. I believe the use of phone will reduce the invalidation with reason like someone else was helping you or someone is helping you.
Can I put Length=2-3ft Breadth=6-8ft Mirror behind me I wanna put this and attach with wall so that my setup from back will be clearly visible Is this will make problem like They see me and mirror behind me
Hello, well, I am not a 100 percent sure if that is going to help. It doesn't really matter if there is something in the background. You just need to make sure that there aren't any movements behind you during test.
I am getting regularly 110-120 while practicing mocks.. how to improve my score brother?? Is it good score or not? and please upload maximum videos of DET which helps us to improve.
Hello, The score of 110-120 in practice test is a good score in my opinion. Mainly students face issues with achieving good production score. In that case, make sure you understand the writing and speaking question. Secondly, make sure that you answer what is being asked. For example, if there are 3 sub question in a question, make sure that you are answering them specifically at first. Learn few synonyms, so that you can add variety of words in your answer to show off vocabulary. Try to learn some linking words as they would make your sentences complex. try forming your answer in the Intro+Main idea +conclusion for both speaking and writing answer. Basically, check out how I form the writing answer in my current and other practice test videos. I also have a video made specifically to improve your production score. Here is the link: Duolingo English Test | How to score high in Speaking | Best Tips and Strategies | 2024 Updated th-cam.com/video/c6LnGIJvd_k/w-d-xo.html Thank you for the suggestions, I will definitely work on uploading as many videos as possible.

Is using external keyboard red flag? In laptop
It isn't a red flag but switching between external and inbuilt keyboard can lead to invalidation.
Will they uncertfied my test result if I do not properly set up secondry camera?

There is a high possibility of test being invalid if the setup is not done as shown by DET's team.
@@LearnwithNikunj if that happened, do I need to pay again?
@@sihameghaprabashwara6025 Yes, in case of invalidation, you will have to repurchase the test.
@@LearnwithNikunj is it wrong if I set up the secondary camera vertically?
