I have tutored over 150 students for DET within recent 3 years. By far, the most challenging section for them is Duolingo Writing section. The majority of candidates don’t know how to write a good essay, let alone do it within 5 minutes. And if we recall a unique DET task called Interactive Listening Summary, there chances are you will botch the task because once you start writing about the situation, the time has already elapsed.
So, what can I recommend you to do to raise your score at this Duolingo writing section? The most efficient and propitious)) is of course inviting a good experienced DET tutor to help you. I think it is self-explanatory since we all need a coach while preparing for something important, whether it is sport or art or an English test.
If for some reason you don’t want to hire an effective DET tutor, you have then to practice all several types of tasks at DET Writing by yourself. It is not out of the question, but you have to possess a decent level of general English already, and also find real Duolingo tasks. This mission is arduous sometimes since DET is a young test yet, so the Internet is not dotted with those real Duolingo writing tasks and samples.
One more problem is not only finding real tasks, but assessing yourself. Checking your grammar and style requires an experienced writer. But you can at least take your written creations through Google Docs or another checker to see that you avoid spelling and basic grammar mistakes.
