Virginia SOL Math Practice
Virginia Standards of Learning Assessments - Mathematics. Virginia SOL uses Virginia's state-specific standards. Briveli's curriculum is Common Core aligned, which covers the underlying math content tested.
Spring administration set by each school division (typically April-May, with retake windows later in the year).
Computer-adaptive
No calculator in grades 3-4. Grades 5-7 may use a state-approved scientific calculator (an embedded Desmos calculator is provided online). Grade 8 may use a state-approved scientific or graphing calculator. Each grade has an approved calculators list.
Scale score 0-600 mapped to four levels: Pass/Advanced (500-600), Pass/Proficient (400-499), Fail/Basic, and Fail/Below Basic. Pass/Proficient is on grade level. Reporting category scores are reported 0-50.
About the Virginia SOL
Virginia is one of a small number of states that never adopted the Common Core. Instead, Virginia uses its own Standards of Learning, or SOL - a homegrown framework that has been continually revised since 1995. The SOL math assessments are given in grades 3 through 8 each spring, online and computer-adaptive, with the difficulty of items adjusting to how a student is performing. While SOL content overlaps heavily with Common Core in topics like fractions, ratios, expressions, and linear functions, Virginia teachers and parents will recognize SOL-specific framing such as "Number and Number Sense," "Patterns, Functions, and Algebra," and explicit "Probability and Statistics" reporting categories at each grade.
Scores are reported on a 0-600 scale. A scale score of 400 puts a student in Pass/Proficient (the on-grade-level threshold), and 500 puts them in Pass/Advanced. Below 400 the student receives Fail/Basic or Fail/Below Basic and may be eligible for retake or for remediation. Score reports also include a 0-50 reporting category score for each major SOL strand, plus information about the embedded Desmos online calculator (available for the calculator-allowed portion in grades 5-8). Because Virginia has continued to revise its SOL framework, parents should always check that practice resources are aligned to the current SOL for the year being tested.
