Using your exam prep plan on Atom Home

Your child's exam prep plan will make sure they go into the big day confident and prepared! Here's how to get started.

Helping your child stay on track with their exam prep plan

When you signed up for Atom, you told us your child’s target school(s). Using this, we’ve created a personalised exam prep plan to guide them step by step towards success.

How it works

Your child’s plan is designed to make sure they cover everything they need for their exam, at the right pace. To keep them on track, all they need to do is:

Log in to Atom Home and head to the Learn page
Complete the activities we’ve set for each week

If the exam is getting closer, they might have a few more activities to complete each week, but we’ve kept things manageable!

Making study time stress-free

Children learn best in small, focused bursts, so we recommend splitting their Atom time into 3–4 short sessions each week. This keeps learning fresh and avoids burnout.

What’s in the exam prep plan?

Your child’s plan is packed with activities that cover their entire exam curriculum. They’ll see these arranged across different learning islands, unlocking new islands as they progress.

On each island, they’ll:
- Build knowledge with practice questions
- Get support from helpsheets and videos
- Gain confidence through guided learning

A plan that adapts to your child

Every week, the plan adjusts based on your child’s progress:

If they find a topic tricky, it will come up again in their plan until they feel more confident.
If they’re doing well, they’ll get more challenging questions to stretch their skills.

This ensures they’re always learning at the right level, without feeling overwhelmed.
