Frequently Asked Questions
Private tutoring in the UK can be very 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 exam-style questions, and get instant marking and feedback.
Your child also receives a personalised study plan, so you know exactly what to focus on each week. It’s an affordable, flexible and stress-free alternative to private tutoring.
With an Exam Prep Plus subscription, your child can take unlimited online mock tests for Part 1 of the Quest Admissions exam. These look and feel just like the real thing. They’re timed, marked automatically, and come with easy-to-read reports, so your child can build confidence, sharpen their exam skills and track their progress.
There are also optional Part 2 practice tests for Creative Comprehension and Puzzles & Problem-Solving. Plus, your child receives an enhanced weekly study plan that guides them on what to practise and when, taking the guesswork out of revision.
Families with an Exam Prep Plus subscription can purchase Quest Admissions Part 2 familiarisation tests for just £24.99. These tests let your child practise the key thinking and problem-solving skills they’ll need in the real exam, all under timed conditions.
These optional add-ons help your child to:
- Get used to the questions and timed format
- Practise Creative Comprehension and Puzzles & Problem-Solving
- Feel more confident before the real exam
We also suggest including some offline activities to build the right skills for Part 2. Our experts have chosen some of the best at-home ideas for you here.
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.
You can also join our parent webinars for honest, helpful tips on exam prep and school admissions.
Atom fits around your family’s routine. Your child can learn anytime and anywhere – before school, after dinner or at the weekend.
Short, regular practice works best. It helps build good habits and gives our algorithm enough information to personalise the work for your child.
We recommend 20–30 minutes a day, a few days each week. As the exam gets closer, your child may choose to spend a little longer on Atom to feel fully prepared.
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.
As well as fun things like coins to collect and worlds to explore, our algorithm is hard at work behind the scenes. Atom continually adapts in difficulty to fit your child's learning style and pace. This keeps them challenged – without demotivating them.
Atom covers 11+ entrance exams, ISEB Common Pre-Tests, CAT4 assessments and Quest assessments for hundreds of grammar and independent schools.
