U.S. History SOL Quiz 3 will likely be either Tuesday May 25 or Wednesday May 26. This will review (matching) from page 6-10 in your study manual. Remember that you will need to keep up with your manual until the end of the year and will be given points on the notebook for having it at the end of the 6 six weeks. You will be taking 3 SOL matching quizzes over the course of the remaining school year-- these quizzes will average to 1 test grade to be reflected on the 6th six weeks grading period. Check out the SOL review slides in the orange box at the very end of this webpage. The images tend to be helpful in reviewing basic information the state wants you to know...and every now and then you see similar images on the actual test.
