Explore Resources for Students Who Are Learning English

Remember that Ohio students who are learning English may use a dictionary and have extra time when taking the OGTs. Also, if you are a student learning English who has been in U.S. schools for less than three years, you may be eligible for additional help on the tests. Ask your teachers for more information and use the links below for additional resources.
