Help: entry test for bilingual kokusai elementary schools

Hello, I’m planning to enroll my kid in a bilingual kokusai elementary school, and saw that they have a test segment as part of their application requirements. Can anyone shed light on what sort of testing, and on what subjects, we should expect? My niece preparing for entry into a private Japanese elementary school is presently going to Kumon for classes on IQ puzzle-solving, Japanese language riddles etc. But how should we prepare?

Info: my kid is a native English speaker and I previously taught EFL at university, so extra English classes are not necessary but knowing the scope and type of testing would be very helpful. My child can read hiragana and katakana and also some kanji, but he can’t speak or understand much Japanese.
