How can I measure my child's progress on Atom Home?

There are many tools available for you to measure your child’s progress.

Coins 

Coins are one of the many ways your child is rewarded for progressing through the Atom Home curriculum. Your child can earn coins by answering questions correctly. This can be in their Learning Journeys or from Custom Practice activities. For each question your child answers correctly, your child will earn one coin. Each week your child will be given a weekly target for the number of coins they need to collect in each subject. This depends on how much of the curriculum they've covered, their attainment level in each subject and if they're preparing for an exam. These targets are designed to ensure your child is doing the optimal amount of work each week for their learning needs.

Mastery Level

The mastery level is based on questions answered in the learning journey, custom practice and mock test sections of the Home platform. Your child will achieve a mastery level of 'Needs Practice', 'Good', 'Strong' or 'Master'. This mastery level is based on the difficulty of the questions they answered correctly. You can see this broken down by topic and skill. This allows you to identify which specific areas of strength and any that may require further practice. To review this, sign in to your Parent Portal and scroll to the Performance Section, then click on 'View details'.

You can then use the Custom Practice feature to target any topics your child has found challenging. This can help them to improve and build on their understanding and confidence in these areas.  

The Year Group Comparison tool allows you to benchmark your child’s scores and see how far above or below an average Atom student they are working. 

 

Mock Test Results

If you are an Exam Preparation subscriber, your child can complete mock tests and you can review the results on your Parent Portal. Your child will be given a Standardised Age Score (SAS), a stanine ranking, an Ability Subtopic Breakdown and a transcript of the questions. Here you can review and compare their performance across different mock tests to assess progress over time.
