How to understand your child's performance scores

Understand what performance levels mean and how they reflect your child’s progress on Atom.

How to track your child's progress using performance levels

On the Track page of your Atom Parent Account, you can view your child’s performance level in each area of their exam prep plan. Performance is rated as:

  • Needs Practice

  • Good

  • Strong

  • Master

These levels give you a simple, at-a-glance picture of how confidently your child is working in each subject area.


What determines performance levels?

Two factors contribute to performance levels:

1. Accuracy: The % of questions answered correctly

2. Difficulty: The level of difficulty of the questions your child is seeing

The more questions they answer correct the more the platform will adapt to a higher level of difficulty which will result in a higher performance level. 

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

 

When will my child receive a performance level?

Once they answer a minimum of 8 questions they will get their first performance level in that area. 

Understanding performance levels 

Needs Practice: A performance level of “Needs Practice” indicates your child is developing their understanding and is working at the lowest level of difficulty.
