Alternative to Bond Online? For ISEB test

[buzybeee]

We find the Bond books excellent but DS will be taking ISEB tests in November which are computerised so I want to get him use to answering questions online. Unfortunately Bond Online is proving hard to navigate and he keeps scoring very highly in topics I don't think he really understands!

Bofa and atom learning

Thank you. Apparently DS had a Bofa account all along (which I wasn't even aware of) but I've just received an email from DS's school to say they're switching to Atom learning in the summer term. I have signed DS up to atom learning in the meantime to use at home. Will see if I can sit him down tonight to try it out!

Keystone and BOFA

i've also had a look at DS's bofa - he was scoring very highly but DS admitted he was spotting the patterns in questions (they only seem to change a word or number in each question when they retest so not really surprising). The mock tests also don't seem to look like the actual pre tests.

Atom learning is more expensive but it seems much better (cheaper than a tutor at least) - DS likes the video tutorials, revision sheets and there's more variety of questions / you don't have to pay extra for mock tests etc. We did a mock test on the site this morning and he scored 10 points lower than his CATs which is in line with what you'd expect on the ISEB pre tests according to DS's maths teacher who does all the pre test work at school. Bodes well!

that's good to know above thank you.

i was also looking into Atom Learning recently and saw they're now hosting free online lessons for anyone in English, maths and reasoning. we signed up on their website but heard good reviews!

I think because of schools closed

We are looking at Atom Learning as well due to home schooling not being up to scratch. They say on their site that you can get FREE access during Coronavirus, but I think you have to sign up to the Free trial and then downgrade - very sneaky!

We just signed up for the free 5 day trial as we thought it was still worth a try.

If you want to do the same then you can use the following code to get £10 off your first month - if you continue paying after the trial:

I'll update this page on how the trial goes in a couple of days..

I have used your discount code (I hope you don't mind) . We will both get the £10 discount I think

Were you happy with the ATOM LEARNING trial ?
