*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
Duolingo introduced a NEWREADINGSECTION into the official test on March 30, 2022.
This course does not yet cover the tips for that part of the test.
It gives tips for all other parts of the test, but not for this one.
The test is still 1 hour long - they have not changed the length of the test.
1. Introduction and onboarding ~5 minutes
2. Adaptive test ~45 minutes
3. Writing Sample and Speaking Sample ~10 minutes
This change also means that the number of other tasks from the test has changed!
Read and Complete, Read and Select, Listen and Select, Listen and Type, Read Aloud:4-6 times each
Write About the Photo 3
Speak About the Photo 1
Read, Then Write 1
Read, Then Speak 1
Listen, Then Speak 2
Writing Sample 1
Speaking Sample 1
The Interactive Reading sections are 7-8 minutes long and there are two of them, so it means this new part takes around 15 minutes of the test.

"Thank you so much Elena for this course! In my opinion, this course not only has important information about the test format and the rules, but it also gives valuable tips and a piece of advice which I couldn’t find anywhere else! Elena goes in detail through each task from the Duolingo test, explains the approach to them, and gives recommendations on how to improve the score in each task and the total.
Highly RECOMMEND!"
