[quote=Anonymous]AAP students do NOT take the 4th grade SOL in third.

third grade - third grade SOL
fourth grade - fourth grade SOL
fifth grade - sixth grade SOL
sixth grade - seventh grade SOL

AAP students in third grade essentially due PRIMARILY 4th grade SOLs, and in 4th grade they do primarily 5th grade SOLs.  They work from a text and curriculum that is a year above grade level, and the teachers work to fill in minor gaps that they may have missed by jumping ahead.  They reason they wait until 5th grade to do the actual SOL is  they know that some children struggle with the advanced curriculum in the beginning, but by 5th grade, they should be doing all math a year ahead.

Some schools will tell you that third grade is 3/4 SOLs and fourth grade is 4/5 sols and then by 5th grade they're all caught up, but that's not really true.  The majority of the curriculum really is a year ahead.  The best thing you can do for your child in preparation is practice their math facts, so they are ready to go!!!

I'm an AAP center teacher, so I'm positive this info is correct :) [/quote]
