How to send Duolingo scores to AUBG

AUBG says to log in at englishtest.duolingo.com, use the Send Results button, select the American University in Bulgaria and choose the Undergraduate program. It does not accept personal score reports or photocopies. No subscores or validity period are stated.

The requirement can be waived for citizens of the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand or Canada educated mainly there, or after three years of full-time study at an English-language accredited high school. Ask your Admissions Counselor for a waiver.
