Should you prepare for the Duolingo English Test with a traditional teacher, an AI tutor, or a mix of both?

In this episode, two DET tutors talk about the pros and cons of AI-powered practice and traditional lessons. We discuss feedback speed, cost, personalized learning, flexible study time, and how regular practice can help students work toward a higher DET score.

We also talk about why knowing your current score and target score is important when planning your preparation. If you want to check your score range, explore different score targets, or see how DET scores compare with other English tests, you can use the DET Score Hub from DETPractice.

Whether you’re just starting your DET preparation or already working toward a specific score, this conversation offers some simple ideas for making your study time more effective.
