How do Atom's 11+ practice papers compare to real exams?

Atom's practice papers are custom-built to mirror your child's exact 11+ format. So your child can practice like it's the real thing, building exam skills and confidence. For Quest Admissions, our practice papers are the best match on the market.

Can I track my child's 11+ progress?

With Atom Home, you can track your child's progress as they work through their exam plan. You'll get clear data telling you there standardised age score (SAS), performance by subject and topic, and how they compare to other students.

Are the 11+ mock exams tailored to GL Assessment and CEM?

When you create your Atom account, set your target school to make sure your child is practising the correct test format.

What's included in 11+ practice tests?

The 11+ practice tests cover questions similar to major 11+ exam boards and mirror the real thing. Get unlimited practice papers for your child, with instant marking and progress tracking to keep them on track.

What support does Atom offer?

No other platform brings together smart adaptive learning, teacher-written content and expert guidance all in one place. And you're never on your own — our friendly team is here to help by LiveChat, phone or email.

How does Atom keep my child motivated?

Atom isn't just fun for children – it's smart, too. While your child explores new learning worlds, our algorithm is working in the background. It adjusts the level of questions to suit how your child learns and how fast they're progressing. This means they stay challenged, but not overwhelmed.

Do I need to help my child use Atom?

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.

How often should my child use Atom?

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.

Is Atom mapped to the national curriculum?

Yes – Atom is built on the Key Stage 2 national curriculum in England. We cover English, maths and science for Years 3–6 (ages 7–11). We also teach verbal and non-verbal reasoning in line with the major exam boards. Reasoning isn't usually taught in primary schools, so Atom guides your child through everything they need to learn, step by step.

How accurate are Atom's 11 plus practice tests?

We've matched everything to the real exam — the curriculum, question types, timing and scoring. Our goal is for exam day to feel calm, familiar and free from surprises. By practising with Atom's online and downloadable tests, your child will know exactly what to expect, helping them feel confident and ready.

How do I know which practice tests my child should take?

Atom recommends the right type of practice for the schools you're aiming for. If your target school uses a computer-based exam, Atom suggests online mock tests. If the exam is on paper, you'll get downloadable practice papers instead.

What 11+ practice papers are available on Atom?

Atom Home has practice tests for hundreds of grammar and independent schools. Exam Prep Plus subscribers get downloadable paper tests and answer sheets: print, test, and photo your child's answers to see their results.

Is Atom cost-effective?

Private tutoring in the UK can be expensive. Many tutors charge over £60 an hour, and the cost can quickly add up. Atom gives you another option. For a much lower price, your child gets access to a complete online learning platform. They can learn at their own pace, practise with questions like the real 11 plus exam, and get instant marking and feedback. Your child also receives a personalised 11+ study plan, so you know exactly what to focus on each week. It's an affordable, flexible and stress-free alternative to private tutoring.
