Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) End-of-Course Tests
Virginia SOL Biology End-of-Course test — scientific & engineering practices, molecular & cellular biology, genetics, evolution & classification, and ecology. Earns the laboratory-science verified credit. Built to the 2018 Science Standards of Learning.
6 topics · 18 lessons · 54 practice questions
Plan and carry out investigations: independent/dependent variables and controls, valid experimental design, and analyzing and interpreting data from tables, graphs, and models (the scientific & engineering practices, assessed throughout).
3 lessons · 9 practice questions
The chemistry of life (water, macromolecules — carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids — and enzymes) and cell structure and function, including membranes and transport (diffusion, osmosis, active transport).
3 lessons · 9 practice questions
How cells capture, transform, and release energy: photosynthesis and cellular respiration (reactants, products, and the role of ATP), and the cell cycle and mitosis.
3 lessons · 9 practice questions
Heredity and molecular genetics: meiosis, Mendelian genetics (Punnett squares, dominance, sex-linkage), DNA/RNA structure, replication, transcription, translation, and mutations.
3 lessons · 9 practice questions
Evidence for evolution and the mechanisms of change: natural selection, adaptation, speciation, and common ancestry; and how organisms are classified (taxonomy, cladograms).
3 lessons · 9 practice questions
Interactions among organisms and their environment: energy flow (food webs, trophic levels), biogeochemical cycles, population dynamics, symbiosis, succession, and human impact on ecosystems.
