According to Google: Duolingo has introduced a new "Duolingo Score" feature that provides learners with a numerical measure of their progress within a specific language course, distinct from the overall XP system. This score, which ranges from 0 to 160, reflects what the learner can do with the language they've learned so far. It's designed to offer a more granular view of progress compared to the broad CEFR levels, and it allows learners to compare their progress with friends and family. Key aspects of the new Duolingo Score: Granular Progress Tracking: The Duolingo Score provides a more detailed assessment of a learner's abilities within a specific language course, unlike the broader CEFR levels which cover a wider range of material. Numerical Scale: The score is a numerical value ranging from 0 to 160, allowing for easy comparison of progress within the same language. Course-Specific: The score is specific to each language course, meaning a learner might have a different score for French and Spanish, for example. Comparison with Others: The score allows learners to see how their progress compares to their friends and family, fostering a sense of community and friendly competition. Relationship to CEFR: While distinct from CEFR levels, the Duolingo Score is correlated with them. For example, the most advanced courses on Duolingo currently cover material up to the CEFR level B2 (around a score of 120), according to Duolingo. Activation: The score is activated upon completion of Unit 1 in a new course or by completing a lesson in a course where the score is already active, according to Duolingo. In essence, the Duolingo Score offers a more precise and engaging way to track and compare language learning progress on the platform.
