Which mock tests should my child practice for an adaptive exam?

If your child is preparing for an 11+ adaptive exam, we recommend using the Atom Assessment mock tests on Atom Home. These are designed for each year group and cover all the key topics your child needs to master.

Since these tests are adaptive, they work just like real adaptive exams:
- Questions adjust to your child’s level – becoming harder if they answer correctly or easier if they’re struggling.
- A realistic exam experience – helping them build confidence and refine their exam technique.

How often should my child take a mock test?

Years 3 & 4 – No more than once per term to benchmark progress. Most time should be spent on their learning plan and extra practice.


Years 5 & 6 – More frequent exam practice can help build stamina, accuracy, and confidence ahead of the exam.
