Virginia Standards of Learning Assessments

Spring 2001 Released Tests

( 2000 and 1998 Released Tests )

In the following files you will find a form of the tests that students across the Commonwealth of Virginia took as part of the Spring 2001 Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) Assessments. The test questions are representative of the content and skills included in the Virginia SOL tests and are provided to help you understand the format of the test and questions. The answer to each question can be found in the back of each test booklet.

The content areas for which the tests have been released are: English: Reading and Writing, Mathematics, and Science in grades 3, 5, and 8 and End-of-Course, and Computer/Technology in grades 5 and 8. Questions from the History and Social Science tests are not being released. The Standards of Learning in History and Social Science were amplified through the Teacher’s Resource Guide in 1999, and the tests were revised to match this new amplification. In 2001, new History and Social Science Standards of Learning were approved and the Teacher Resource Guide was replaced with a Curriculum Framework.  These changes brought another alignment that again resulted in the removal of items from the history and social science section of the test bank. During these processes the test question bank had to be rebuilt, leaving a minimum number of questions available.
