About the Tests

In 2006-2007 Virginia used the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests to assess students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 5 and 8, in science in grades in 3, 5 and 8 and in history/social science in grades 3 and 8.
The SOL tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Virginia.

About the Tests

In 2006-2007 Virginia used the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests to assess students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 5 and 8, in science in grades in 3, 5 and 8 and in history/social science in grades 3 and 8.
The different student groups are identified by the Virginia Department of Education. Data is not reported when there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school.
The SOL tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Virginia.
The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
