About this file
This is an administrative appendix document prepared for the Virginia Department of Education detailing item and form counts for the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) assessment program as of June 2026. The document provides comprehensive inventory data across multiple subject areas and grade levels, including Reading (Grades 3-8 and End-of-Course), Writing, Integrated Reading and Writing, Mathematics (Grades 2-8 and advanced courses including Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II), Science (Grades 5-8 and advanced courses including Biology, Earth Science, and Chemistry), and Social Studies (Virginia Studies, Civics & Economics, Virginia and U.S. History, World Geography, and World History & Geography I and II). The appendix catalogs multiple item types including multiple choice items, technology-enhanced items, passages, prompts, and clusters, categorized by operational status (Ready, Operational, or Field Test Ready). Additionally, the document tracks the number of test forms available in various formats, including online test forms, text-to-speech forms, paper forms, large print forms, Braille forms, and practice forms.
The document serves as a detailed resource inventory for the statewide assessment system, with specific counts provided for each subject and grade level to support operational planning and delivery capabilities. For example, Grade 3 Reading includes 1,092 operational multiple choice items with 170 field test ready items, while Grade 8 Mathematics contains 1,399 operational multiple choice items. The appendix includes explanatory notes clarifying that header designations for "Operational Ready Only" and "Field Test Ready Only" encompass multiple statuses within those categories, including items eligible for forms but not selected, items selected for operational forms, items approved for field testing but not yet field tested, and items currently in development. This comprehensive inventory supports the Virginia Department of Education's management of the modernized K-12 student assessment program across the Commonwealth.
