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 Somalia

At about $70 the DET is taken online from Somalia — no test-centre travel, and far cheaper than IELTS. English-taught programmes need Duolingo English Test/IELTS; Somali higher education uses Somali, Arabic and English. Türkiye Bursları is a major route.

Credentials: Ministry of Education, Culture and Higher Education
Funding to search: Türkiye Bursları, Chevening, Mastercard Foundation, Islamic Development Bank scholarships
Where students go: Turkey, Sudan, Malaysia, United Kingdom, Uganda
