National Seal of Biliteracy (NSOB)

About NSOB Testing

The National Seal of Biliteracy (NSOB) is an optional, free test. Students who pass earn a seal on their diploma and a notation on their transcript certifying that they can work in English and another language.

The test is open to all Odyssey seniors (and early-graduating juniors) who are proficient in a language other than English.
