Atom recommends the right type of practice for the schools you’re applying to. If your target school uses a computer-based exam, Atom suggests online mock tests. If the exam is paper-based, you’ll receive downloadable practice papers instead.
All online and downloadable tests on Atom are unlimited. Your child can retake a test for the same school as many times as they like, with fresh questions each time. This means more practice, less pressure and better preparation.
With Atom Home, you can track your child’s progress as they work through their personalised exam plan. You’ll receive clear data showing their standardised age score (SAS), performance by subject and topic, and how they compare with students who have successfully applied to their target schools in previous years.
Track your child’s independent exam preparation progress online with Atom Home.
Atom isn’t just fun for children – it’s smart, too. While your child explores new learning worlds, our algorithm works in the background, adjusting the level of questions to match how they learn and how quickly they progress. This keeps them challenged without feeling overwhelmed.
To support understanding of each topic, there are plenty of interactive resources, including video tutorials and helpsheets. Your child can also join Atom’s Live Lessons to learn with a teacher in a virtual classroom, or choose from over 500 hours of on-demand lessons in the Lesson Library whenever it suits them.
No — Atom is designed for children to use independently. It’s simple to navigate, and the helpsheets and videos guide your child as they learn new skills and grow in confidence.
You can still stay involved by checking their progress and scores anytime.
It depends on how close your child is to their exam, but as a guide, we suggest around 2 hours a week. Short sessions work best — about 20-30 minutes at a time, spread across the week.
Atom is flexible, so your child can learn whenever and wherever works for your family.
Yes. Atom adapts to every student's current level. You'll get clear feedback on what's going well and exactly where to focus next, so your child can make steady, meaningful progress toward their goals.
