Tracking your progress on Duolingo has never been easier! Introducing: the Duolingo Score.

Here's everything you need to know about your Duolingo Score and what it means. 📈

What is the Duolingo Score?

The Duolingo Score is a simple, clear way to understand your progress through your course. When you know your Duolingo Score, you know how much of the course material you've completed, what you can do with the language at that level, and how you're progressing towards your goals. (Like certifying your English with the Duolingo English Test!)

Gif of the Duolingo Score, starting with Duo the owl jumping from circle to circle in the learning path and landing above the French flag and the number 6, which changes to the number 7. When the number changes, text reads "You increased your French score!"

(Not to mention you can compare your score across languages and compete against your friends!)

If you're in a course that's aligned to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), you'll find your Score next to your course flag. If you're new to the course, complete Unit 1 to unlock your score, and if you're already in a course with the Duolingo Score, simply do a lesson and your score will appear! 

Unlike a CEFR level, which covers a broad range of material (sometimes multiple sections of your course!), the Duolingo Score gives you a granular measure of what you've learned.

Two screenshots, side by side. The first shows the top of the app, with the French flag next to a small number 5, a streak flame next to the number 12, and 500 gems. In the second screenshot, the French flag has been clicked and there is a progress bar with 5 on the left and 6 on the right, and there is a green line reaching about three-quarters of the way between them. Below the green progress bar is text that reads "Your French Score is 5. More about score"

What does my Duolingo Score mean?

The Duolingo Score is a measure of what you can do with the language you've learned so far. It allows learners around the globe to gauge their progress and see how their friends and family are doing, too.

The top and bottom of a screenshot with more information about the Duolingo Score. The text explains that a French score of 10 is for content at the early A1 CEFR level and is followed by 3 speech bubbles, each with a Duolingo character and an example sentence in French of the sort of content that you've seen by this point.

Your Duolingo Score is out of 160 points—just like the Duolingo English Test—and our most advanced courses currently cover content through 120 (the end of the CEFR level B2).

As you complete more lessons and advance through the units of your course, your Score increases. 📈 And, of course, doing more lessons leads to better learning!
