Academies of Loudoun Prep

Prepare for the Academies of Loudoun (AOS and AET) admissions exam.

Review content for each of the sections of the STEM Thinking Skills Assessment.

Learn effective test-taking strategies and prepare for the Writing Assessment.

Take two full-length practice tests and obtain a written evaluation.


Students strengthen their STEM thinking, writing skills, and test-taking strategies. With structured practice and reflection, students build confidence across all parts of the exam.

Students practice algebraic reasoning, spatial thinking, scientific analysis, and technical logic through targeted exercises. They also work on timed writing prompts, revision strategies, and clear self-expression. Diagnostic tests and progress checks help students track growth and refine study plans.

Students leave better prepared for the admissions process with clearer strategies, stronger skills, and confidence in their abilities.
