🚨 Avoid this mistake! How to disable predictive text software for an online test
In this video, we’ll talk about predictive text software (like Grammarly and others), which is not allowed while taking the Duolingo English Test and many other online tests. This could risk your certification! Learn what it is, why we don’t allow it, and how to uninstall or disable these programs on your computer before the test. Don't worry, you can easily reinstall it again afterwards! Best piece of advice: If you have any programs that perform spell check, grammar check, or makes suggestions for style, you need to make sure that is disabled or uninstalled before starting your test session.

This should be shown before an exam. To pay for this again feels like a scam since we didn’t even use these apps but they were installed in computers
This should be shown in the exam it self.
My exam wasn't certified due to this feature. I fail to understand why it wasn't mentioned beforehand.

But I'm happy that i didn't meet any other cost such as for retaking the test. The test is easy when you practice daily, the challenging part is writing since most of us are slow is typing . U need to practice typing skills when u have turned off auto correct settings, spelling, and grammar from your computer. At least if u can type 60-65 words per minute correctly, you are good to go.

Hi! The test is actually taken on a desktop app that you download to your computer, so your internet browser won't matter. You can definitely use a Windows operating system. Make sure you aren't running any other programs when you take the test; this video has instructions for how to do that on Windows: kzread.info/dash/bejne/X2xmtsGqc7eZc7w.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
I understand exactly how you feel and I feel the same too

Why not you add a system check step before start of test. It is so unfair you dont issue results on the basis that test can not be certified without providing any evidence of violation of rules.
On windows 7, I should do anything?
Thank you
I took the test 3 times still can’t be certified and can’t understand what’s wrong, they really clearly want us just to pay more for the every single test already paid almost $300 and will have to pay more.. this is so frustrating.

The problem I have now is that I didn’t know my in-built prediction key was on before the exam, it was a borrowed laptop and I had no idea she had that on. I never clicked on the predicted words and the spell checker was not active, I’m just wondering if that could affect my certification?

They are scammers. Be careful with this test. They will collect your money and later say your test could not be certified and that you buy another test.

Dear Duolingo team, it is nonsense that you don't have a system to show which program is running and detected before starting the exam. Isn't it something that your system should already detect before the exam starts??!! I closed all the programs as far as I am aware and restarted the computer to make sure, but still, it said, "Not certified due to another program,"! What is the reason or the technological difficulties that you cannot inform us which program was running before the exam started, BUT you can do that after the test? Most of the students would not do it on purpose. However, It is hard to believe that your company does not even build the basic system and sell the product. I found that many people have left the same comments below since last year; I would like to have your company's answer to these questions/complaints/doubts.
why not show this before test.... this is totally unfair. taking away money and efforts from students
