You cannot retake a test they passed. Retakes are only for students in a very specific failure range (close to passing, within a couple questions)

There was a problem with the testing directions so they’re offering a retake for this one at our school. Doesn’t seem worth it since it was a pass anyway.

If we can't see the questions or what our students scored incorrectly on, how do we help them improve? Do they at least give some kind of high level explanation on where the student needs to improve? My child is a good reader but scored quite less on reading SOL. I was curious to see what elements he did poorly on so we can focus on improvement.

Never. Not even teachers get to see what was on the SOL. It is literally a black box, they have not released any questions for years.

There is apparently a way to get these via https://va-results.pearsonaccessnext.com/ but it looks like FCPS doesn't use this.

Oh we can get results! We get the standard, the level of difficulty, and whether a student got it right or wrong, but we don't get to see the questions. We see "A.5.1" with an x or a checkmark. Does that website show the actual question and what the student chose/entered?

Where do you see that level of detail? Last year SOL report in parent SIS only had broad categories and score per category.
I don't know what that website can show. There is a code needed to register and my school told me that FCPS does not participate - hence no code.

welcome to the club! It’s been like this for years. Even the IReady or MAP doesn’t show the questions missed.

Is this a Virginia thing that they disclose or is this an FCPS thing?

Is this a Virginia thing that they DON'T disclose or is this an FCPS thing?

Being a good reader is only part of it. They also have to be good at comprehension and understanding what they read. My child’s slow reader because she has dyslexia, but has amazing comprehension and does quite well on these SOL.

They might not have taken it yet. My child has only taken one SOL so far. The math one is next week.

Reading taken last week, results online today. Maybe even earlier, but just checked today.

In my 25 years of teaching, I haven’t received this for any student. You won’t get it as a parent.

You can, in fact, ask for your child's Student Detail by Question Report. Email the testing coordinator at your child's school and specifically ask for the Student Detail by Question Report. I've done it every year in elementary school.
