DET mini test

Take a short DET-style test before you trust any score.

Start with a realistic DET mini test. Free users see the score result first. Paid plans unlock probable prompts, practice packs, and follow-up review.

Common targets: 110+ for many US universities. 120+ for competitive programs. 130+ for selective institutions.

The DET reports four subscores. The premium layer expands these into targeted practice paths and extra task sets.

Free = mini test + score. Paid = feedback, likely questions, realistic test packs, topic review, and follow-up quizzes.

Fast, simple, and focused on score realism before extra prep complexity.

What the mini test is designed to reflect

Exam-specific signal, not generic English trivia.

Literacy

Short reading and language tasks styled for DET-like speed and clarity.

Comprehension

Estimated in the free layer, then developed in the paid layer through additional adaptive-style practice.

Conversation

Short spoken-response rating to complete the estimate.

Production

Compact writing task to signal how you generate English under time pressure.

Free score first

The mini test produces the free result. Users do not need to guess their readiness through sliders.

Locked practice layer

Feedback, probable questions, topic review, mini retakes, and realistic test packs sit behind the paid wall.

Clear upgrade logic

The user sees a real result first, then chooses whether to unlock the improvement system.
