These are the university’s own requirements for each test. The IELTS column is not a conversion of the DET column.
Subscores and program differences
A 95 minimum does not cover every ASU degree. Check the exact program’s admission requirements; individual academic units may set higher standards. No separate DET subscore minimum is listed on the cited page.
Sending your result and checking dates
ASU measures the two-year test-validity window against your intended start date. Check that your score will still be current then, and follow ASU’s instructions for sending the result.
Confirm the current instructions for your program and intake on the official ASU admissions page.
How the DET score compares with IELTS
DET 95 compares with IELTS 5.5 in Duolingo’s overall concordance. ASU sets its own test requirements, shown above; those requirements take precedence for your application.

Practice around your remaining requirement
Choose the program threshold before setting a practice target. A general-program applicant and a higher-requirement Journalism applicant may need very different overall scores.
PrepEx scores are independent practice estimates, not official DET results. Meeting a test threshold does not guarantee admission.
