STEM Academy Entrance Exam Prep

The Middlesex County STEM Academy is a rigorous four-year program that prepares students for careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Admission is highly competitive, and the entrance exam plays a central role in the selection process.

The STEM Academy entrance exam typically assesses students in four key areas: math problem-solving, science reasoning, reading comprehension, and critical thinking. Students are expected to demonstrate proficiency well above grade level, particularly in mathematics and analytical reasoning. A competitive score generally falls in the top 15–20% of all test takers.

At UniQ Prep, our STEM Academy prep track focuses on strengthening quantitative reasoning, developing scientific literacy, and building the critical thinking skills that set top scorers apart. Students work through progressively challenging problem sets and timed practice sections to build both accuracy and speed.

Allied Health Academy Entrance Exam Prep

The Allied Health Academy offers students a pathway into healthcare careers, including nursing, medical technology, and health sciences. The program combines rigorous academics with hands-on clinical experiences, making it one of the most sought-after vocational programs in Middlesex County.

The Allied Health entrance exam focuses on three primary areas: science aptitude, reading comprehension, and mathematics. Science questions often cover basic biology and life science concepts, while the reading section tests a student’s ability to interpret complex passages. The math portion covers arithmetic, pre-algebra, and data interpretation.

Our Allied Health prep curriculum at UniQ Prep emphasizes science vocabulary, passage-based reading strategies, and the foundational math skills students need to perform confidently on exam day.

Woodbridge Academy Entrance Exam Prep

What the Entrance Exams Typically Test

While each magnet school has its own exam format, the entrance tests generally assess students across four core domains:

• Math Problem-Solving: Arithmetic, pre-algebra, geometry concepts, data analysis, and multi-step word problems.
• Reading Comprehension: Understanding main ideas, making inferences, analyzing author’s purpose, and interpreting vocabulary in context.
• Science Reasoning: Interpreting data, understanding experimental design, and applying basic scientific concepts.
• Written Expression: Grammar, sentence structure, organization, and the ability to construct clear, logical responses.

The UniQ Prep Approach

Every student who enrolls in our Magnet School Entrance Prep program begins with a diagnostic assessment that identifies their strengths and areas for improvement. Based on the results, our instructors develop a targeted instruction plan that addresses specific skill gaps while reinforcing areas of strength.

Throughout the 15-week program, students complete multiple full-length practice tests that simulate actual exam conditions. These practice tests help students build stamina, manage time effectively, and reduce test-day anxiety. Our instructors also teach proven test-taking strategies, including process of elimination, strategic guessing, and passage annotation techniques.

Small class sizes ensure every student receives the individual attention they need to make meaningful progress. Our instructors provide detailed feedback after every practice test and adjust instruction based on each student’s evolving needs.

When to Start Prep

Magnet school entrance exams are typically administered in the fall or early winter for students seeking admission to 9th grade. We recommend that students begin preparation in the fall of their 8th-grade year, though students who want a head start can begin during the summer before 8th grade. Starting early allows time for thorough skill development without the pressure of a compressed timeline.
