What Duolingo score do you need for Simmons University?

All applicants whose first language is not English must show proof of English proficiency. Those who do not qualify through schooling, college credits or Kaplan must use a standardised test, and Duolingo is one of nine listed, alongside TOEFL, TOEFL Essentials, IELTS, SAT, ACT, PTE and Kaplan KiBT.

The page gives no Duolingo subscore rule or validity period.

For comparison, the same English proficiency page sets IELTS at 6.5.

The page does not describe conditional admission. First-year students taught in English for all of secondary school who took no ESL classes in 11th or 12th grade already meet the requirement, and transfer, Dix and online students can qualify through 30 or 60 college credits at an English-medium institution, depending on when they last took ESL.

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