COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Classroom teachers, curriculum directors and administrators who are preparing students for the upcoming Ohio Graduation Test are urged to take advantage of a free offer from IQ-ity, the online education specialists.

Now through September, IQ-ity's OGT Practice Test is available to professional educators and Ohio school districts at no charge. Individual students and parents are not eligible for the offer.

This free trial period provides school districts a chance to "test drive" the IQ-ity OGT Practice Test and compare it to similar products on the market without spending a cent!

Sign up is easy by calling the toll-free IQ-ity information hotline at 877-474-8966. Arrangements will be made for each student enrolled to access the practice test system with an individual user name and password.

The online OGT Practice Test by IQ-ity is self-paced and easy for today's computer-savvy high school students to learn and use. It's also prescriptive, enabling teachers and parents to assess students' strengths and weaknesses and develop individual remedies if necessary. A "drop box" feature allows careful monitoring of student progress in each of the five testing areas: reading, writing, mathematics, science and social studies.

Of all OGT practice tools on the market, only IQ-ity's was designed expressly for Ohio students by Ohio educators - the same educators who review the actual tests administered each spring. It's also the only OGT practice tool that's aligned with Ohio's own standards, benchmarks, and most importantly, grade-level indicators.

IQ-ity's OGT Practice Test offers study tips, lessons and instant feedback on whether answers are right or wrong. The math portion lets students read about, experience and practice the kind of problems they will face on the real test. Eye-catching illustrations, conversational and scientifically accurate lessons are features of the science portion. Social studies preparation emphasizes vocabulary - an important element of that test section. The English reading and writing portions include instruction in the key literacy components and assessment items that are structured in a format like the test itself.
