Country-level guidance for United States
Scores run on the 10–160 scale. US minimums range from ~90 at community colleges to 125+ at the most selective programs.
Admission is not the same as the visa
For the F-1 student visa, USCIS does not mandate a specific English test. Your university issues the I-20 on its own admission criteria — so if your university accepted your DET, you are covered. The consular officer assesses your spoken English at the interview in person.
Applying from Singapore
At about $70 the DET is taken online from Singapore — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. Singapore is English-medium, so Duolingo English Test is often waived where prior study was in English; competitive overseas admissions may still require Duolingo English Test/IELTS.
