Need advice for SOL’s? These tips will help you. Tip number1, Study hard. Tip number 2, get a good sleep. T ip number 3, eat a good breakfast. Tip number 4 relax and don’t RUSH!!!!!!!!!! Last tip is, if a answer is not correct SLASH THE TRASH! Those were my SOL tips. Also, If you are the last one to finish in your class, it is not a bad thing. That’s good. Good Luck.

My advice for the SOL’s is to go to bed 30 minutes early and to eat a very healthy breakfast(oatmeal). While you are doing the test, take deep breaths and relax if you get stuck on a question. Also if you get stuck on a question SLASH THE TRASH! Or you can take a peek at different questions to see if they can help you. Take your time on the test because it is NOT a race. I hope you get a good grade on the test and good luck.

I took my first SOL tests in 3rd grade. My advice is to never freak out. If your worried try to relax. What Mrs. Birdwell gets us to do is breathe. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth slowly. Then do some stretches. Put your hands up in the air, lock your hands together, and stretch up.NEVER rush on your SOL tests. You win and lose at the same time. You finish first but, get a bad grade. Also to prepare at the begining of May do some of the SOL sites. Glad I could help!

This is some advice for the fourth graders. Take your time there are many trick questions. The things teachers do teach you do apply on the test. If you guys put your mind to it you can do it!

When it is your first time taking the sol’s you always need to be prepared and you never freak or rush because you have all the time you need and you will do great if you feel that you can do it!

I suggest you study hard but don’t stay up late. You can also play learning games. On the day of the test Do NOT panic or you will not be focused. Just do your best and you will triumph.

Hey here is some advice to you 4th and 3rd graders who are going to be taking the SOL very soon! First of all study, thats very important. Next you should have kept all your papers from the years work and if your a 4th grader, you should keep all your papers worked on from 3rd and 4th grade years. If the papers start to get messy and unorganized, you can get boxes and label them 3rd grade year and the next box 4th grade year. My next word of advice is that you make a schedule that organizes your studying for the time untill your test. This advice should work because i was focused 100 percent the 2 previous years and i got passed advance=]. The key goal here is that you stay focused and very extremely dedicated. DO YOUR BEST ON THE TEST! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is some advice for the fourth and third graders. Take your time there are al ot of trick questions. The things teachers do teach you do need on the test. If you guys put your mind to it you can definitely do it.Whatever you do do not get over stressed, even if your teachers, classmates, and parents tell you it’s a big deal, the key is to relax and focus. After taking the SOL’s three times I know how to do it. If you get stuck on a question skip it and go back later but just make sure you have a way to find the question you skiped so you don’t forget to go back. And remember not to get distracted. And DO YOUR BEST ON THE TEST!

I suggest getting a good nights sleep and eating a good, healthy breakfeast. If the answer is incorrect, slash the trash and jail the detail. Remember you have as much time as you need to finish the test. Relax, keep your mind to it, and you can do anything!

Third Graders, the test is easier than you think but still no careless mistakes are aloud. I know you guys have been working really hard studying so just let all that information on to the paper. Last year I was so stressed about it but I had a nice breakfast, good sleep, I had studyed hard and everything turned out all right.

I am going to give you five fantastic tips on S.O.L success.

1.Always eat a good breakfeast befor you go to school. To give your body something nutricous to digest on.

2.ALWAYS! take your time, no matter what. You may see a wuestion like… With is NOT the reason why jamestown settlers settled in Tidwater. You might pick thay had fresh waters whan its they wanted to be freinds with the powatans.

3. Do not overwelm yourself. Kids in 4th grader migh be telling the 3rd grader un-positive things about the S.O.L. If you are confused please!!!! ask your teachers BEFOR the test.

4. Get a good night sleep. You do not want to be drowsy befor the test. Your head doesn’t think strait.

5. now listen for this one!!!!!!!!!

————-DO YOUR BEST ON THE TEST!!!!!!!!———-
