Subscores and program differences

This profile covers undergraduate admission. Do not apply it to a graduate program. No separate DET subscore minimum is listed in the undergraduate examination table; check any additional requirements for your application.

Application planning

Sending your result and checking dates

Scores must be within two years of the application submission date. Arrange for the testing service to send the official report directly to the University of Arizona. The university also lists ways to demonstrate proficiency through coursework.

Confirm the current instructions for your program and intake on the official Arizona admissions page.

How the DET score compares with IELTS

DET 110 compares with IELTS 6.0 in Duolingo’s overall concordance. Arizona sets its own test requirements, shown above; those requirements take precedence for your application.

Practice around your remaining requirement

Use the requirement for the test you plan to submit. If you already hold a current certified DET 110, review the rest of the undergraduate policy before assuming you need a retake to match IELTS 6.5.

PrepEx scores are independent practice estimates, not official DET results. Meeting a test threshold does not guarantee admission.
