What Duolingo score do you need for Drake University?

English proficiency is required for admission to a Drake undergraduate programme. You are exempt if, within the two years before classes start, you attended a high school or college for two years or more in a country where English is the official language and the teaching was in English.

Otherwise you can meet the requirement with Duolingo or the other options on the list, including SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing 500, ACT English 19, CSAT English 2 or IB HL English at 5 to 7. The page gives no Duolingo subscores, validity period or sending instructions.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at a minimum overall score of 6.0.

The page lists no conditional admission or pathway route for English. Your alternatives are the other tests and qualifications on Drake's list.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Drake programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
