Test-Taking Tips
Go to bed early the night before the test. You will think more clearly
after a good night's rest.
Read each problem carefully and think about ways to solve the
problem before you try to answer the question.
Relax. Most people get nervous when taking a test. It's natural. Just
do your best.
Answer questions you are sure about first. If you do not know the
answer to a question, skip it and go back to that question later.
Think positively. Some problems may seem hard to you, but you may
be able to figure out what to do if you read each question carefully.
If no figure is provided, draw one. If one is furnished, mark it up to
help you solve the problem.
When you have finished each problem, reread it to make sure your
answer is reasonable.
Become familiar with a variety of formulas and when they should
be used.
Make sure that the number of the question on the answer sheet
matches the number of the question on which you are working in
your test booklet.

Overview
The material in this booklet is designed to help your students prepare for the
Virginia Geometry Standards of Learning Test (SOL).
It contains:
a Class Recording Chart,
the Geometry Standards of Learning correlated to Glencoes Geometry
and Geometry: Concepts and Applications,
a Countdown to SOL answer sheet,
a Diagnostic Test,
practice for each SOL, and
a Sample Test.

How to Use This Book


Diagnostic Test Administer the Diagnostic Test to your students. Once
they have been graded, you may want your students to complete the Student
Recording Chart that is found on page v in the Student Workbook. Students
should mark an in the square for each question that they answered
incorrectly.
Individual Practice You can use each students chart to determine where
extra practice is needed. Assign each student the appropriate Standards
Practice worksheet(s) from pages 13 to 40 in the Student Workbook.

Sample Test After the students have completed their Standards Practice
worksheet(s), administer the Sample Test found on pages 41 to 52 in the
Student Workbook.
Pacing It should take about 2 class periods to administer the Diagnostic
Test and Sample Test.
Countdown to SOL Answer Sheet Throughout the school year, you
may assign your students sample SOL problems from pages VA8-VA32 of the
Countdown to SOL sections in the Student Edition of Glencoe Geometry.
A Countdown to SOL answer sheet can be found on page xi of this
booklet. A printable answer sheet is also available at va.geometry.com.

Class Practice Using the Student Recording Charts, complete the Class
Recording Chart that is found on pages vi and vii in this booklet. Use the
Class Recording Chart to determine which standard(s) needs to be practiced
by most of the students. Assign the appropriate Standards Practice
worksheet(s) from pages 13 to 40 in the Student Workbook to the class.

Student Recording Chart


Directions Mark an by each question from the Diagnostic Test that you
answered incorrectly. If there are one or two s marked for a SOL, write Yes in
the Need Practice? box. Then complete the practice pages for that standard.
