DICTATION PRACTICE
One of the modules that feature in the Duolingo exam is dictation. You will hear sentences, and you need to write down exactly what you hear, paying particular attention to spelling. This is a challenging section because the sentences you will hear are set at a near-native speed. Dictation is an excellent way to improve your listening skills.

I’m Getting On That Plane
This episode is about students who want to take the Duolingo exam to obtain a Canadian student visa. The clock is ticking, time seems to be shooting ahead, and you don’t want to be left behind. A virtual finish line separates students who made it to Canada and those who didn’t.
Yes, I’m talking specifically about emigrating to Canada. Unfortunately, the COVID situation has created delays with families impatiently waiting for this situation to change.
True that a cure is in sight and there is the hope of some resolve. Families are now turning towards a new trend, and it’s called Duolingo.
There are advantages with taking this exam, especially with the concept of time. This test can be taken from the comfort of your own home. Universities in Canada will recognise this exam in terms of obtaining a student visa.
Is this test right for me?
It’s a great question if you are not very good with traditional exams such as IELTS and during times of uncertainty can’t guarantee test dates, this could be the answer.
Listening, reading, speaking, and writing are still used as the criteria to measure your abilities. Nevertheless, unlike the traditional format of sections, questions can follow no particular order prompting you to respond quickly.
The test itself is approximately an hour long. Preparation for this exam will require you to learn and apply grammar, so don’t be fooled. A study plan is still needed, and the grading system is scored between 10 – 160. Some of the more prestigious programmes may demand a higher score; this will usually be above 120.
Duolingo vs IELTS
75 – 80 = 5
85 – 90 = 5.5
95 – 100 = 6
105 -110 = 6.5
115 – 120 = 7
125 -130 =7.5
130 – 140 = 8
145 – 150 = 8.5
Do not get carried away, Duolingo as a concept is not considered a qualification to find employment, only consider your grade to a University requirement as a visa condition.

Although it’s a computer-based exam, there is a section where you will have to demonstrate your ability to type sentences.

A Few Questions
All English exams are designed to challenge the theory by forcing you to apply grammar using cleverly designed questions. This exam is no exception. Although it’s a new form of exam, it’s setting the trend as people move between countries.

In this Podcast, a few recently featured topics could prove useful if you are preparing to take this test. Indeed, students often think that because there is an ability to take it at home combined with the multiple-choice features, it could be considered a much softer option. Sadly isn’t the case, and you will still be required to show grammatical awareness within the format.
