Applying from South Africa
At about $70 the DET is taken online from South Africa — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. South Africa is largely English-medium, so Duolingo English Test is often waived where prior study was in English; NSFAS funds domestic study only, so overseas study uses external scholarships.
