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.
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.

OBJECTIVE G.1 The student will construct and judge the validity of a
logical argument consisting of a set of premises and a conclusion. This
will include (a) identifying the converse, inverse, and contrapositive of a
conditional statement; (b) translating a short verbal argument into
symbolic form; (c) using Venn diagrams to represent set relationships;
and (d) using deductive reasoning, including the law of syllogism.

(a) investigating and using formulas for finding distance, midpoint, and
slope; (b) investigating symmetry and determining whether a figure is
symmetric with respect to a line or a point; and (c) determining whether
a figure has been translated, reflected, or rotated.
