LESS GUESSWORK. MORE DIRECTION.

Small steps.
Useful feedback.

Answer keys help with objective tasks. Worked examples and a review checklist help you notice how your writing and speaking can become clearer.

A score needs perspective.

Nepious’s practice band is an unvalidated learning aid. It cannot establish your official DET result. Pair local practice with the official free practice test and, when possible, a teacher’s feedback.

Start with the directions, timing and common pitfalls. Read an original worked example.

Try it with room to learn

Rehearse the pace

Timed mode locks answers and uses replay limits and shared section clocks.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Before you start.

Is Nepious free to use?

Yes. Nepious’s public practice app is free, with no account, subscription or paid AI service. It includes original exercises, prerecorded audio, microphone recording, answer keys and guided self-review.

Is Nepious an official Duolingo English Test website?

No. Nepious is an independent preparation project. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Duolingo. Its questions and model responses are original practice material.

Will a Nepious practice score match my official DET score?

No reliable equivalence has been established. Nepious’s practice band uses an unvalidated teaching formula. Official DET scores depend on calibrated adaptive questions and proprietary scoring models.

Can I practice speaking with my device’s microphone?

Yes, in a supported browser on the HTTPS website after granting microphone permission. You can record, replay, download and review your response. Optional on-device transcription requires browser support and an installed English language pack.

Does Nepious upload my voice recordings?

The public static edition does not upload your microphone recordings. Audio recording, playback and checks run in your browser. Optional native transcription requires local processing and does not fall back to cloud recognition.

Do I need to install an app?

No separate application is needed for the core website. Optional local transcription may require a browser-managed English language-pack download. Recording and manual transcripts work without that recognition pack.
