Well, based upon some experience in tutoring students for this section in particular and Duolingo in general, I would like to share with you some thoughts&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>First of all, I think the first question where you have to select proper words for the gaps in the sentences is not too arduous&#8230; At least for those who have some experience dealing with such questions &#8211; either in TOEFL or GMAT or other test&#8230; Sometimes Duolingo gives a bit ambiguous options &#8211; so that two or three of them seem appropriate (and grammatically they are indeed!), and I consider this to be not so decent on their part&#8230;:)<\/p>\n<p>What concerns the question, in which you should select the main idea of the excerpt &#8211; here ambiguity increases&#8230; I understand all the words everywhere in the text and questions, still the choice does not seem clear&#8230; Of course, I admit that Duolingo doesn&#8217;t want to seem a primitive purely based vocabulary test, but they should also realize that when a candidate is so limited in time, she or he is stressed without the additional ambiguity, so it would be kinder to provide clearer options for the answer.<\/p>\n<p>So, I think that overall this new DET section of Reading is quite interesting and surmountable, but if the system finds out beforehand that your English is sufficient, it will give you a challenging task. You have to practice with an experienced tutor who can assist you in attuning your skills to the specifics of Duolingo. So, feel free to contact me &#8211; I have a very large experience in tutoring candidates for IELTS, Duolingo, TOEFL &#8211; so I will help you raise your score by a considerable margin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi dear English enthusiasts, now that we have a new Reading section at DET, the question arises about how difficult is it?
