Royal Masonic Entrance exams

DD is taking the RMS entrance exams in January and I KNOW it says on the website
"Candidates for entry at 11+ spend a full day at RMS during which they take an online test, devised by the University of Durham, to assess their skills in English, Mathematics and Reasoning"
"The entrance test enables us to gauge accurately the girls’ true potential rather than how well they have been prepared or tutored for entrance examinations."
But has anyone had any experience of the tests?, we have just moved to the area so DD didn't take the 11+ and hence hasn't had any tutoring and whilst I know it says it accurately gauges true potential surely tutored girls will be at an advantage? as TBH she isn't exactly the most academically gifted girl in the world, so we are wondering whether to do 5 weeks cramming over the holidays!
