Can anyone share what they know about the CEM Select Entrance exam

We hope to send our child to a school that uses the CEM Select as an entrance exam. We looked at the familiarisation materials and I feel a little unsure about what they will go through during this test. Can anyone share any more details about the question types they will face? How many questions are there in total? How many questions per section? And how is it scored?

The exam is computer based, non adaptive, each tsat will have 6 sections from the following examples: comprehension, missing words/related words/multiple meaning /shuffle sentence /anagrams (VR) , maths/numerical ability/arithmetic/data problems, pictures (nvr)

Each section contains approximately 20-40 questions and has a specific time limit. The majority of the questions are multiple-choice. Practicing to improve speed is essential for achieving a high score on the test.

Hi,
My daughter will be taking the CEM Select (11plus ,Stage 1) test for City of London Girls in 2 weeks. Do the CEM Select tests include spatial reasoning ( cubes nets etc) questions within the non-verbal reasoning section?
She has been practicing with Atom Learning mock tests throughout Year 5, now consistently scoring an SAS of 115-120. Would this be considered a strong score? Should we consider adding practice materials from other providers, like Bond, CGP, or Exam papers at this stage ?
Any advice from parents whose DDs have sat this exam advise would be greatly appreciated!

Note: Atom's CEM select mocks do not have cube nets.

I'd say there's no harm in getting familiar with some spatial type NVR questions, just in case. Practicing some past CEM paper questions could also be beneficial, as they are somewhat similar to online CEM select in both style and speed requirements.
