Mathematical Analysis SOL Study Guide

Practice for the Mathematical Analysis Virginia SOL test across all 11 standards and 3 strands. SOL Prep turns every standard into a diagnostic, guided notes, flashcards, and SOL-style practice questions — so you drill what you’re actually weak on instead of re-reviewing what you know.

Mathematical Analysis SOL practice tests

Two ways to practice Mathematical Analysis: work through official released items from the Virginia Department of Education, or drill standard by standard with SOL Prep.

What Mathematical Analysis covers

Characteristics of Functions

  • MA.CF.1Identify and analyze properties of polynomial, rational, piecewise-defined, absolute value, radical, and step functions and sketch their graphs.
  • MA.CF.2Determine the limit of a function if it exists using algebraic, numerical, and graphical methods.
  • MA.CF.3Analyze and describe the continuity of functions using graphical and algebraic methods.

Functional Relationships

  • MA.FR.1Analyze compositions of functions to determine and verify inverses of functions.
  • MA.FR.2Analyze the characteristics of exponential and logarithmic functions and sketch their graphs.
  • MA.FR.3Analyze sequences and finite series, and model and solve problems in context using sequences and series.

Analytic Geometry

  • MA.AG.1Identify and analyze the properties of conic sections and sketch a graph given an equation.
  • MA.AG.2Use parametric equations to model and solve problems in context.
  • MA.AG.3Perform operations with vectors in the coordinate plane.
  • MA.AG.4Investigate and identify the characteristics of the graphs of polar equations.
  • MA.AG.5Use matrices to organize data and perform operations to solve systems of equations.

Frequently asked questions

What is on the Mathematical Analysis SOL test?

The Mathematical Analysis Virginia SOL test is organized into 3 reporting strands: Characteristics of Functions, Functional Relationships, Analytic Geometry. It assesses the 11 Standards of Learning listed on this page.

How many standards does Mathematical Analysis cover?

Mathematical Analysis covers 11 individual Virginia SOL standards across its 3 strands.

Where can I find Mathematical Analysis SOL practice tests?

The Virginia Department of Education publishes official released tests and practice items at doe.virginia.gov — see our Virginia SOL practice tests guide for direct links. SOL Prep adds standard-by-standard practice for each of the 11 Mathematical Analysis standards below.

How should I study for the Mathematical Analysis SOL?

Start with a diagnostic to find which of the 11 Mathematical Analysis standards you're weakest on, then focus practice there instead of re-reviewing what you already know. Work each standard's skills, then take a mixed practice check.
