How to understand your child's performance rating

How to track your child's progress using performance ratings

On the Track page of your Atom Home account, you can view your child's performance in each topic of their exam prep plan. The performance column uses a colour scale from red through to green, giving you a simple, at-a-glance picture of how confidently your child is working in each topic.

What determines performance?

Two factors contribute to your child's performance:

1. Accuracy: The % of questions answered correctly
2. Difficulty: The level of difficulty of the questions your child is seeing
   
   

📈 As your child answers questions correctly and consistently, the platform will adapt by increasing the difficulty, and their performance will rise to reflect their progress.

📉 If your child finds a topic challenging, the platform will adapt by giving easier questions to help build their confidence, and their performance will reflect this adjustment.

For each topic, performance is based on the most recent 20 questions your child has answered across the learning islands, practices, and mock tests.

👉 Performance is updated every 15 minutes to reflect new questions answered, providing an up-to-date picture of your child's progress.

Understanding the performance scale

Fewer bars filled indicate a topic that needs more practice. More bars filled means your child is answering correctly at a higher level of difficulty.

Topics showing no data are those your child has yet to work on in Atom.

When will my child receive a performance rating?

Once they answer a minimum of 8 questions, they will receive their first performance rating in that topic.
