🇮🇪 Duolingo English Test for Ireland — from Iceland
Ireland has near-universal acceptance — 15 of its 18 universities recognise the DET, and it is officially accepted by Irish student visa authorities.
What Ireland asks for
Scores run on the 10–160 scale; requirements vary by university and program, generally 105–125.
Admission is not the same as the visa
Ireland is one of the most DET-friendly destinations: the test is officially recognised by Irish student visa authorities, so it works for both admission AND the student visa — simpler than the UK.

English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test/IELTS; Iceland is Icelandic-speaking and the Nordic countries, UK and US are common destinations. At about $70 the DET is taken online from Iceland — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS.
