Should I take the Duolingo English Test? Will it boost my admissions chances?

Hi there! I recently heard about the Duolingo English Test and have been looking into taking it to add to my college resume. Based on the practice test, my projected score is 150-160 (160 is the highest possible score, with 10 being the lowest). While I did well on it, I'm not sure if it's worth taking. I'm already a native English speaker, so would it really look great for me? If it boosts my chances of admissions at all, I'll totally take it, but if it won't affect anything, I don't want to pay $49 to do it. Thank you so much! :)
