Frequently Asked Questions
On Atom’s Track page, you’ll find a clear breakdown of your child’s performance across all exam subjects. Their progress is rated as Needs Practice, Good, Strong, or Master, giving you an instant overview of their strengths and areas for improvement.
For a detailed breakdown, click on any subject to see:
- Performance levels for each topic and subtopic
- Their accuracy and difficulty level across question types
- Insights into their learning trends over time
With real-time updates, you’ll always have a clear picture of how your child is progressing and where they need extra support.
If your child finds certain topics tricky, Atom makes it easy to spot learning gaps and provide targeted support.
- Head to the curriculum table and look for topics rated Needs Practice. These indicate areas where your child might need more reinforcement.
- Assign personalised practice activities in these topics to help them build confidence.
- Encourage them to complete adaptive learning sessions, which automatically adjust to their level.
- Track their progress updates in real time, so you can see when they move from Needs Practice to Good, Strong, or Master.
This step-by-step approach ensures they strengthen their skills and feel more confident ahead of their exam.
To ensure your child is working at the right level, focus on three key progress indicators:
- Performance levels: aim for Strong or Master in key subjects like English, maths, verbal reasoning, and non-verbal reasoning.
- Mock test scores: regularly complete Atom’s online or paper practice tests to simulate exam conditions.
- Standardised age score (SAS): an SAS of 115+ is a strong sign of readiness, while 120+ is ideal for more competitive schools. Learn more about standardised age scores.
By tracking these measures, you’ll get a clear understanding of how ready your child is for the exam, and where they might need to improve.
Atom provides valuable benchmarking tools to see how your child is performing in relation to other students.
- The standardised age score (SAS) allows you to compare your child’s results to other learners preparing for the same exam.
- After practice tests, you’ll get a performance breakdown, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement based on real student data.
These insights help you set realistic goals and ensure your child is preparing at the right level for their target school.
Practice tests are an important part of 11+ preparation, helping your child get used to exam-style questions while measuring their performance. Atom provides both paper tests and online mock tests.
After each test, you’ll get a detailed report showing:
- Scores by subject, so you know where to focus revision.
- SAS score, allowing you to compare results with other children who took the same test.
- Time management insights, helping to improve exam technique.
Taking regular mock tests helps to refine exam strategy, track progress, understand 11+ results and scoring, and build confidence for the real test.
For the best results, we recommend checking your child’s Track page at least once a week. This allows you to:
- Quickly spot areas which need improvement
- Assign targeted practice before gaps widen
- Keep motivation high with regular progress updates
Since performance levels update in real time, you’ll always have the most accurate view of whether they are ready.
Atom provides data-driven insights to show how your child is improving week by week.
Progress tracking includes:
- Performance level updates based on accuracy and difficulty level.
- Practice test reports that highlight strengths and areas to revisit.
- SAS scores, which benchmark their performance against other students.
- Long-term learning trends, helping you monitor improvement across subjects.
This continuous progress tracking ensures your child stays on track as their exam approaches.
Yes! Atom’s Track page provides a subject-by-subject breakdown (and individual topics within these subjects) across:

- Non-verbal reasoning (NVR)
You’ll see detailed performance levels for each topic, so you can pinpoint areas of strength and improvement in every subject.
Take a look at our exam board guides to understand scoring for CAT4, ISEB, Quest Admissions, CEM and GL Assessment.
A standardised age score (SAS) is a key indicator of exam readiness.
- 100+ indicates your child is working at the average level for their year group.
- 115+ is a strong indicator that your child is on track for 11+ success.
- 120+ is a competitive score for top-tier grammar and independent schools.
While no score guarantees admission, a high SAS score suggests your child is working at the right level for their target schools.
Tracking progress shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Celebrating small wins keeps children motivated. Here’s how:
- Set achievable goals: focus on improving one topic at a time.
- Use rewards: praise your child’s milestones, like moving from Needs Practice to Good.
- Show progress visually: review their Track page together so they can see improvements.
- Make learning fun: use Atom’s adaptive learning journeys to reinforce tricky topics in an engaging way.
By tracking progress positively and encouragingly, your child will stay engaged and confident as they prepare for their 11+ exam.
