Blueprints and CurriculumBlueprints are currently available on the

VDOE website to accommodate curriculum development and instructional planning, but will not become effective until the 2011-2012 school year

School divisions should be teaching the new content from the 2009 SOL in the 2010-2011 school year since there will be FT items in spring 2011 on the new content

Look for changes in:Number of reporting categoriesNumber of items in reporting categoriesAsterisks denoting SOL that will be assessed in the non-

calculator section for grades 4 - 7SOL that will not be tested

Practice Opportunities for Students• Approximately ten practice questions will

be provided via an ePAT for each mathematics test, Grades 3-8 and EOC

• ePATs will include items that address increased rigor for existing SOL, items that address new SOL, and technology enhanced items

• Available by February, 2011
