We're excited to announce that unlimited paper tests are now live on Atom Home for Exam Prep Plus subscribers.
Every test is unique, encouraging genuine learning instead of memorisation. Atom instantly shows how your child is performing and progressing. This means all the exam prep resources you need, at your fingertips, for one monthly cost.
What are unlimited paper tests?
Atom’s paper tests are designed to help children know what to expect from their entrance exam. They are downloadable, printable PDF documents containing question papers and answer sheet. Our admissions experts have carefully created our 11 plus practice papers to replicate local exams (such as the Kent Test, Buckinghamshire Secondary Transfer Test or West Midlands Grammar Schools Entrance Test) and bespoke entrance exams set by individual schools.
Families who have an Exam Prep Plus subscription can access unlimited paper tests at no extra cost. Every time you download a paper test, you’ll get a different set of questions based on the exam structure used by your target school.

For users on an Exam Prep Plus subscription plan.
We know that preparing for school entrance exams can be a stressful experience for you, as well as your child.
Atom Home is designed to take the stress out of exam preparation. Learning plans, interactive questions and online mock tests, all tailored to the exam used by your child’s target schools, means you can be sure they’ve got access to all the right resources for their exams. But we also know how important paper practice tests are to familiarise your child with the real exam experience.
So, our new paper tests go one step further. Now, you can download and print as many practice papers for your child’s exam as you like, at no additional cost. And unlike other practice paper suppliers, you'll get detailed insights into your child’s performance. That means you can:
Save time by not marking your child’s paper and adding up their score
Budget more easily with one subscription cost for unlimited revision resources
Feel reassured they’re on track for success. And, if there are topics they’re struggling with, you’ll know exactly what they need to do in time for exam day.
How are the paper tests marked?
Once your child has completed the test, you can log in to Atom to input their answers and the time it took them to complete the test, and you’ll instantly get a full breakdown of their results. You’ll see data such as:
The number of questions they got correct, and their standardised age score
Their performance in each of the topics tested
Answer explanations for every question they answered (correct and incorrect!)
The topics they found the hardest – and which ones to practise next
Why use paper tests?
For many children, school entrance exams are their first experience of taking a formal test in timed conditions. This can be stressful, and it’s natural for children to feel anxious about the exam.
We want your child to go into their entrance exam feeling confident. Getting familiar with what to expect on the day can help to ease nerves.
Paper tests will help your child get used to navigating the question booklets and marking their answers clearly on the answer sheets. In time, these skills will become second nature.
With practise, they’ll be able to focus on their answers, instead of navigating an unfamiliar format in the real exam. They’ll also be able to ensure that their answers are read clearly by the marking software used by many exam boards.
