Can I use a dictionary in my exam?

If you have been granted an ESL time extension or a medical accommodation, you will be allowed to bring a Translation Dictionary into the exam room in test centers, provided that it:

  • Gives "word to word" (or in short phrase) translations
  • Does not provide English definitions for foreign language words
  • Does not have notations in the margins
  • Does not have extra pages inserted into it

Important: Standard dictionaries cannot be used for The Open Group testing under any circumstances. Your translation Dictionary will be inspected by test center staff and must meet the criteria above in order for you to be allowed to use it. Translation dictionaries are not allowed for OnVUE Online-proctored examinations.

 

So please note that OnVUE exams (online exams) operate a clean room environment and dictionaries are not permitted.
