In the Duolingo English Test, the Read and Select question type evaluates your ability to recognize real English words quickly and accurately. Each question typically shows a single word, and you must decide if it is a valid word or a made-up one. The words can range from common to less familiar, and the task is timed, requiring fast decision-making. To do well, focus on being familiar with a wide range of English vocabulary, pay attention to spelling patterns, and practice making quick judgments without overthinking.
This is how you will see this in the real exam! You will click on the tick if the word is a real English word and a cross if the word is not.You get a 5 second timer to answer each word.
