ISEB - BOFA vs ATOM

[OV77]

Hi everyone, we’ve used both platforms for ISEB pre-test preparation but not sure which is closer to the real thing?
My son has his pretest in a couple of weeks so any advice would be greatly appreciated xx

@OV77we've used both Atom and Bofa too, as well as PeakPrep. I know that Atom and Bofa both cover ISEB pretests and 11+, so I've heard the content can be a bit harder than the actual pretests...my daughter didn't do too well on atom so found it discoraging. Peakprep has been a good fit for us and we're using it do do more mock tests now.

I prefer Atom and it was very instrumental in our prep, both of my kids didn't find Bofa challenging enough. That was a couple of years ago so, don't know if it's changed since.

OV77 I started a thread regarding ISEB a couple of weeks ago that has lots of info on it regarding Atom. Prob worth a read? I know Bofa is used by my local prep so it must be pretty good but haven’t used it personally.

Thank you all so much for your replies 🙏 Atom does seem harder, but obvs I have no idea which is closer to the real thing! At this stage, I want to focus one on platform rather than jumping between the two.
