Avoid this common mistake! How to close external programs before taking the Duolingo English Test

Watch this before taking the Duolingo English Test! This simple step can help you to avoid breaking a rule that can result in an uncertified test.
It's really important to have all your programs not only minimized, but closed, quit, and/or logged out. If you break this rule, you might receive an email with the following message: "We could not verify the security of your test environment. You must test again alone in a room with no external programs, devices, or resources present." This requirement helps to ensure the validity of your test and protects the DET from security threats.
The good news is that on Mac and Windows, closing all your external programs/applications is pretty easy to do! When you're ready to take the test, your test session should be the only thing running on your computer. Before you start the test, close programs including all browsers (Chrome, Firefox, etc.), telecommunication software (Skype, Discord, etc.), remote desktop software (Teamviewer, Anydesk, etc.), and spelling or grammar checkers (Grammarly, etc.), and essentially all other programs other than the Duolingo English Test app. You should double check that there aren’t any programs running in the background without you knowing. If in doubt, you can shut down your computer entirely and only launch the Duolingo English Test desktop application. In addition to passing a security check, this also helps ensure you have a stable test experience!

    To address a matter of concern regarding the Duolingo English test. It has come to my attention that the test team has been issuing "Invalid" results (test could not be certified) without providing any proof or evidence to support their determination. I kindly request that the Duolingo English test team revise their protocol and provide test takers with tangible proof when deeming their results as "INVALID." As a test taker, it is essential to have access to the information and justification behind such a significant decision. Without proper documentation or evidence, it becomes challenging for individuals to comprehend the basis for the "INVALID" result and to rectify any potential issues in their language proficiency assessment. Transparency and fairness should be the cornerstone of any evaluation process, and I believe it is crucial for the Duolingo English test team to adopt these principles. Providing test takers with a clear explanation or supporting documentation when issuing an "Invalid" result will enable them to better understand any areas that require improvement and will empower them to take appropriate actions to enhance their language skills. By implementing a proof-based approach, the Duolingo English test team can establish trust and confidence among test takers, ensuring that the process is unbiased and reliable. This will not only benefit the test takers but also enhance the overall reputation and credibility of the Duolingo English test as a whole. I kindly urge you to consider this request seriously and take the necessary steps to implement a system that provides verifiable evidence when declaring a test result as "invalid." I believe this adjustment will significantly improve the experience of test takers and promote a fair and accountable evaluation process. I appreciate your consideration and look forward to a positive resolution that benefits all stakeholders involved.

    It's money making scam to enforce almost every second person to buy another test as none has taken them to court to ask why they don't have app which validates pc to be suitable for test or does all require task itself or does not start the test till issue is solve. They make millions by not solving this issue amd so they will keep making money till anyone takes them to court as no other test gives limited time or puts responsibility on test taker about an background process or just invalidate without any visible evidence

    My appeal was rejected. This is incredibly frustrating, as I urgently require the test scores for my university applications. Furthermore, my conscience is clear that my responses to the test questions were genuine and there was no use of the external source this I can beat my test. Please certify my test and release the scorecard. Remember one thing It's not a one-hour effort or one hour exam, coupled with the money paid please I don’t want this to go wasted like that, this is my life and my dream, my life can’t be paused because of an accusation I wasn’t guilty of I never knew the laptop had an external tool. I would have confirmed with my dad if I know it was against the riles to deactivate it.

So this week I took DET twice and (after completing each and every recommended step written (said) here and in your website) got 'Invalid' both times. So guys.... this is not a proficient English test, its a 60 USD quest about how to make your pc clean for DET. Ps. It's better tow spend this money on RDR 2 or save it for GTA 6

    I've been having a terrible experience with DET. I have done this test three times now, and each time, it mentions that it was not certified because of some background process. I have disabled every possible application, and the issue still persists. Duolingo support cannot seem to assist, apart from parroting the same template instruction and disconnecting. For the latest run, I have tried disabling Window's Virus & Threat protection. I recommend trying this for anyone who is in a similar situation. Nowhere does it mention that this system needs to be disabled. It's not a third-party system that can just be uninstalled. Just goes to the skill level of the engineers designing this test to not consider Windows native processes. Worse still, Windows only allows this system to be turned off for a short period before turning off automatically. So do the test immediately after disabling it.

I mean, human brain processes is directly linked to the eye movements and it instinctively move the eyes to different positions depending on the task it's performing.

    I strongly recommend using a Mac. I had to retake my test twice due to issues with other programs running in the background on Windows. However, after switching to a Mac (on my third attempt), I succeeded on my first attempt. The problem with Windows is that there are often many processes running, including viruses, so ensuring they're all closed can be a daunting task. You might even need to uninstall some of them. This isn't an issue with Mac. My advice to Duolingo would be to check for any running processes before starting the test. It's frustrating to wait two days only to find out your test was canceled because of background processes. Lastly, good luck to everyone!

    @@DuolingoEnglishTest My appeal was rejected. This is incredibly frustrating, as I urgently require the test scores for my university applications. Furthermore, my conscience is clear that my responses to the test questions were genuine and there was no use of the external source this I can beat my test. Please certify my test and release the scorecard. Remember one thing It's not a one-hour effort or one hour exam, coupled with the money paid please I don’t want this to go wasted like that, this is my life and my dream, my life can’t be paused because of an accusation I wasn’t guilty of I never knew the laptop had an external tool. I would have confirmed with my dad if I know it was against the riles to deactivate it.

    Hi there! A few tips would be: 1) Don't practice responses to the speaking section in advance. Don't use any pre-prepared or scripted lines, and obviously don't try reading from anything! 2) Use a conversational tone as much as possible. Think about tonal variation in your native language, and also listen to TV shows, movies, or KZread videos in English to learn what natural inflection and tone sounds like. 3) Consider the topic and stick to it as much as possible. A natural response that is relevant is better than a perfect response that does not engage with the topic. (This also goes back to not using any prepared lines or scripted speech). Hope this helps! Good luck!

    After two attempts in a week and always the same error, my exam could not be certified because background programs were open. It is very frustrating to not even have the option to appeal the result. I followed the instructions on the website, I watched tutorials, I read comments, and I even uninstalled the antivirus. I will definitely look for another way to get certified in the English language.

    Is it true that if the system recognizes that you used a grammar tool such as Grammarly your account will forever blocked and banned and the person cannot ever take the exam again? Because in my case, I deleted the app way before taking the exam. But during the exam the grammarly icon appeared. I just don't know why. Also I did not use the tool at all, I might have some bad answers in the writing section. But at least I know I did not copied at all. Looking forward for your answer.

    I got an invalid result because I had an NVIDIA screen sharing program running the first time. My bad, so I unnistalled Nvidia experience and tried again and same result. The thing was that the reviewer saw the NVIDIA process in my computer and mistook it for a screen sharing app. It is actually my video driver Which cannot be closed because I have an NVIDIA graphics card. Ugh!
