The SOL tests in Math are on the following days:
A practice page for Pre-Algebra objectives is available using Quia activies, and there is a separate Quia page for Algebre I practice. Even though there are two different pages, students are encouraged to look at both pages - there's always something that can be learned or reviewed.
In 2006, the state began testing all middle schoolers in math - 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. Due to graduation requirements with passing a certain number of SOL tests, the state has not released test items for an 8th grade math SOL since 2004. While the 2004 math released test items is available, the test can not be used as a guide for the test students take now since the test is 2004 covered 6th, 7th, and 8th grade math.
