About the Tests

• In 2008-2009 Virginia used the Standards of Learning (SOL) End-of-Course tests to assess students in reading, writing, math, science and history/social science subjects at the end of each course, regardless of the student's grade level.
• The SOL End-of-Course tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Virginia.
• High school students must pass at least six SOL End-of-Course tests to graduate.
• The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
