[quote=Anonymous]Not sure without more information.  Sometimes teachers misunderstand the requirements.  When you fail the SOL, you can retake it in future years/Testing windows as long as you passed the course.  You also continue to take the SOL for the current class in science unless you passed that previous one first.

So, in your science example, the student is in Bio and fails the SOL and its retake.  Next year, if they are in Chemistry, they take the Chemistry SOL at the end of the year unless they remediate during the year for Bio and pass the Bio SOL sometime prior to the Chem SOL (there's a winter window for these purposes).

Im not sure why a teacher would say they don't have to take the Chem SOL when they hadn't passed the Bio SOL.  The only scenarios I can think of where that would be true is if they have transferred in from some other place and have fewer verified credit requirements, or if they have already passed a different science SOL and were only taking Bio for federal participation... need more info to be sure.
