I'm planning to go for my master's in fall'24. I was wondering whether to appear for IELTS or  DUOLINGO. I heard people say Duolingo is easier to score and it's comparetively cheaper.
I'd love your insights about this.

Duolingo is easier and cheaper, but if you are planning to target good/reputed Universities, I would suggest you go for IELTS (or even TOEFL for that matter).
Unversities prefer IELTS/TOEFL scores over Duolingo ones. DET doesn't have the same value as IELTS.

During Covid's peak era, DET was a preferred option, both by applicants and Universities, but now it doesn't hold the same importance as its counterparts.
