Grade 8 Virginia SOL Math practice questions with answers
These three original examples come from TestByState’s Grade 8 practice generator. Read them without an account. They illustrate selected skills, not a complete test blueprint or official released questions.
Example 1
Skill reference: 8.MG.1
Two angles are complementary. One measures 33°. What is the measure of the other angle?
- 62°
- 57°
- 52°
- 33°
Show answer and explanation
Answer: 57°
The unknown angle measures 57°.
- Complementary angles sum to 90°.
- The unknown angle measures 57°.
Example 2
Skill reference: 8.NS.2
What is the smallest real-number subset that contains √2?
- whole numbers
- integers
- natural numbers
- irrational numbers
Show answer and explanation
Answer: irrational numbers
√2 cannot be written as a ratio of integers.
- Choose the most specific subset that contains the value.
- √2 cannot be written as a ratio of integers.
Example 3
Skill reference: 8.PFA.4
How many solutions does 4x + 7 = 7x + 11 have?
- The equation has no solution.
- The equation has exactly two solutions.
- The equation has exactly one solution.
- The equation has infinitely many solutions.
Show answer and explanation
Answer: The equation has exactly one solution.
Different x-coefficients produce one value of x.
- Move the x-terms to one side and constants to the other.
- Different x-coefficients produce one value of x.

Grade 8 timing and tools
The spring 2027 non-writing SOL window is April 5–June 17, with each school division selecting its local testing period. VDOE had not published a current 2026–27 Growth administration window when this page was reviewed, so families should confirm fall and winter dates with their school division.
A scientific calculator is available throughout current-grade Grade 8 practice. Fall Growth uses Grade 7 content and item-level eligibility; a middle-school formula sheet is available.

Standards represented in this grade pack
- 8.CE.1: The student will estimate and apply proportional reasoning and computational procedures to solve contextual problems.
- 8.MG.1: The student will use the relationships among pairs of angles that are vertical angles, adjacent angles, supplementary angles, and complementary angles to determine the measure of unknown angles.
- 8.MG.2: The student will investigate and determine the surface area of square-based pyramids and the volume of cones and square-based pyramids.
- 8.MG.3: The student will apply translations and reflections to polygons in the coordinate plane.
- 8.MG.4: The student will apply the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems involving right triangles, including those in context.
- 8.MG.5: The student will solve area and perimeter problems involving composite plane figures, including those in context.
- 8.NS.1: The student will compare and order real numbers and determine the relationships between real numbers.
- 8.NS.2: The student will investigate and describe the relationship between the subsets of the real number system.
- 8.PFA.1: The student will represent, simplify, and generate equivalent algebraic expressions in one variable.
- 8.PFA.2: The student will determine whether a given relation is a function and determine the domain and range of a function.
- 8.PFA.3: The student will represent and solve problems, including those in context, by using linear functions and analyzing their key characteristics (the value of the y-intercept (b) and the coordinates of the ordered pairs in graphs will be limited to integers).

- 8.PS.1: The student will use statistical investigation to determine the probability of independent and dependent events, including those in context.
- 8.PS.2: The student will apply the data cycle (formulate questions; collect or acquire data; organize and represent data; and analyze data and communicate results) with a focus on boxplots.
- 8.PS.3: The student will apply the data cycle (formulate questions; collect or acquire data; organize and represent data; and analyze data and communicate results) with a focus on scatterplots.
