Can I retake the Duolingo English Test? If yes, how many times? Yes, you can retake the
Duolingo English Test as many times as you wish, but with a few limitations. Duolingo allows up to 3 attempts in a 30-day period. However, you can only purchase a new test once your results for the previous one are released.
Here’s how the process works:
You take the test.
Results are available within 48 hours.
If you're unsatisfied, you can retake it—just wait for your results first.
This flexibility makes Duolingo a great option, especially if you’re close to your target score and want a quick retry. However, excessive retakes can be costly and tiring. It’s better to identify your weak areas, practice accordingly, and then attempt a retake.
Since the Duolingo English Test is accepted by many universities, it’s worth putting in strong preparation before each attempt rather than taking multiple back-to-back tests.
