Standards of learning (SOL) Tests By emphasizing the SOLs throughout the Instructional process, the York County School Division provides its students with a sound instructional program and prepares them for state-mandated SOL testing that occurs in the spring. SOL tests are un-timed. In middle school, students take the following SOL tests: English (Reading & Writing), History/Social Science, Math, Science, and Computer/Technology. End-of-Course SOL tests are given to students enrolled in the following subjects taken for high school credit: English [Reading/Literature-Research & Writing (2 tests given in Grade 11 cover English 9-11 SOLs)], Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, World History to 1000 A.D. to the Present & World Geography, U.S. History, Earth Science, Biology, and Chemistry. Students are required to earn a certain number of Verified Credits to be eligible for a Standard or Advanced Studies high school diploma. Verified Credits for graduation are based on the achievement by the student of a passing score on the required End-of-Course SOL tests. |
