Duolingo English Test Types

The test type stores the score results.  The 160-point scale accommodates scores for tests taken on or after July 15, 2019.

1. Select Database on the top navigation bar and select Slate Template Library.

2. Add the Duolingo English Test (160-point scale) test type. Do NOT make changes to the test type.

Custom Field

Use a custom field to store the embed URL. This URL can be included on a Reader Tab so that Readers can view the test score, test date, and also view the video recording of the speaking portion of the test. (See below about configuring the Reader Tab to display this)

1. Select Database on the top navigation bar and select Fields.

2. Create a person-scoped custom field to store the Duolingo Embed URL.

Source Format

This Source Format automatically fetches score results shared with your institution.

1. Select Database on the top navigation bar and select Source Format Library.

2. Add the Duolingo English Test Source Format.

3. Duolingo will send you the remote server with your institution's unique API Key. Paste the full URL into the Import Remote Server setting on the Import Automation tab. 
   Note: The URL must be exactly what is supplied by Duolingo. If a colleague has provided this URL to you over certain chat platforms (such as Slack), the end of the URL might become corrupted.
   
   The URL must end with this string of characters: ?min_datetime={{dtstart|date:'s'}}&max_datetime={{dtend|date:'s'}}

   

4. Configure the Remap settings for the Format Definition. Many items are pre-mapped. As always, feel free to customize how the data will be imported.
   Note: If you made a custom field in the previous step, be sure to map this custom field. It is recommended that you use the Unsafe Override setting to ensure that records with active applications have this field set by this Source Format.

   

5. Set the Remap Active flag to Active on the Source Format once you are finished mapping the Source Format. This will run the import using the Remap settings configured above for all files uploaded on or after the Remap As Of Date value.

Reader Tab Group

The Reader Tab will display within the Reader. It will allow readers to view the test score, test date, and watch the video recording of the speaking portion of the test.

1. Select Database on the top navigation bar and select Reader Tab Groups.

2. Select Insert.

3. Select Link as the Type.

4. Set the URL to be the merge field for the custom field you made above (for example, {{duolingo}}).

5. Give the tab a Name (for example, "Duolingo").

6. Set the Order for the tab to appear in the Reader.

7. (Optional) If you want the tab to only appear if the applicant has a value in the Duolingo Embed URL field, select your Applications base, and use the Field Value Exists filter with the Duolingo Embed URL field selected.

   

 

Translation Codes

Translation codes allow you to take any value and change it to something else. The Duolingo English test is comparable to both TOEFL and IELTs. The concordance tables are available in the Slate Template Library as Translation Codes.
