SOL practice test
At a glance:
Everything you need for effective test prep
Wayground combines powerful question types, inclusive accommodations, and intelligent safeguards to create a comprehensive state test preparation experience.
Advanced Question Types
Mirror real state test formats with technology-enhanced item types
Students identify and highlight specific areas on an image as their answer. Choose between point, rectangle, and freeform hotspots to assess precision and visual comprehension — ideal for geography, anatomy, and diagram-based questions.
Motivate learners to think critically by dragging and dropping options to complete sentences, classify items, or sequence events. These technology-enhanced items mirror the formats students will encounter on actual state assessments.
From reorder and matching to drop-down selection and open-ended responses — over 12 question types let you replicate every format your students will see on test day, including drawing and audio responses.
Built-in Accommodations
Accommodate students without singling them out — over 25 discrete supports
Specialized font rendering, adjustable spacing, and customizable display options designed to support students with dyslexia. Content presentation adapts without drawing attention, so every student participates confidently alongside their peers.
Students can listen to questions and passages read aloud with natural-sounding voices. Supports IEP and 504 compliance requirements. Students simply put on headphones — no one else in the class needs to know.
Embedded Desmos graphing and scientific calculators give students the same tools they'll use on test day. Mirrors the actual testing experience used by STAAR, SBAC, and other major state assessments.
AI Evaluation & Anti-Cheating
Intelligent grading and integrity safeguards for trustworthy assessments
Get real-time intimation when a student navigates away from the test window. The system logs every tab switch with timestamps, giving educators a clear picture of assessment integrity without disrupting the student's flow.
AI-powered analysis detects statistically unlikely patterns of identical responses across students. Flags potential collaboration on individual assessments so educators can investigate and maintain fair evaluation standards.
Automatically grade open-ended and constructed-response questions using AI that aligns with state rubric criteria. Saves educators hours of manual grading while providing consistent, standards-aligned scoring and actionable feedback.
Prepare for SOL with released test questions
Preparing for a state test can often feel daunting for students and educators alike. However, with the right resources and strategies, these assessments can become opportunities for students to showcase their knowledge and skills.
A released test, a previously administered test made available by the state for preparation purposes, makes it easy for students to become familiar with the test format and decrease test anxiety. Understanding the significance of the test and implementing effective preparation strategies are vital in preparing students for success.
How are SOL tests scored?
The scoring system varies depending on the grade level and subject being assessed. Generally, these tests consist of multiple-choice questions and open-ended or grid-in questions that require students to demonstrate their problem-solving abilities and critical thinking skills.
For multiple-choice questions, each correct answer earns the student one point, while incorrect answers do not result in deductions. However, scoring can be more nuanced for questions with open-ended responses. In subjects such as writing, students' essays are evaluated based on predetermined criteria, including organization, clarity, and coherence.
Once students complete the test, their raw scores are converted into scaled scores, allowing comparison across different test administrations. These scaled scores are then categorized into one of four performance levels, providing insight into students' academic strengths and areas for improvement:
- Did Not Meet Grade Level
- Approaches Grade Level
- Meets Grade Level
- Masters Grade Level
Test subjects by grade
- Grade 3 – Reading and Mathematics
- Grade 4 – Reading, Mathematics, and Writing
- Grade 5 – Reading, Mathematics, and Science
- Grade 6 – Reading and Mathematics
- Grade 7 – Reading, Mathematics, and Writing
- Grade 8 – Reading, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies
- High School – English I, English II, Algebra I, Biology, and U.S. History
