Best bet is to get the DVLA app on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.tso.ctt
If you've got two weeks left, do some of the mock tests, the pool of questions you can be asked here will mostly mirror the questions on the test itself.
Once you're able to reliably pass a mock test you should be good to go!
Best of luck
I used the "Theory 4 in 1" app to prep for my theory test. I believe they use hazard videos from the same company that do the official test videos.
Edit: Link for the Google Play app
The Highway Code, and this book.
I used theory test pro when I passed the part one in 2012.
I don't know what else to suggest. What have you been using to study?
I wouldn't recommend Testi anymore. I had it and it was driving me crazy due to notifications of test dates I wasn't interested in, and then when a good one turned up by the time I clicked (sometimes seconds) it was already gone.
You need to get an app that allows you to set dates, and also has autobooking.
I got Driving Test Now and it has both of these features and worked well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nickyyo.drivingtestnow&hl=en_GB&gl=US

Yes! Way better than testi (you can select dates and has autobooking). A bit more expensive but worth it. I paid for both, first bought Testi but was driving me mad and then got Driving Test Now.
I know, what a waste of money, but it's the way it is.

I got Driving Test Cancellations NOW and it's very good https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nickyyo.drivingtestnow&hl=en_GB&gl=US.
They key in an app is that it should have autobooking and should allow you to select the dates.
I previously got Testi, which just notifies you, but as you cannot choose the dates there's a lot of useless notifications, and also as it doesn't have autobooking by the time you click most of the slots are gone. It really stressed me out to be fair since I had my phone beeping all the time and distracted me from work. Autobooking is totally worth it.
The hardest part of the theory test is hazard perception, it's the part that even if you practice a million times you could stay fail.
The theory questions are a limited set, so if you study the whole book then it's no surprises. I believe there could be a minor variation in the questions but they are all basically the same.
So just get the official book, do the whole questions, highlight the hard ones, make notes, etc, as if it was a university exam, and you should be fine.
I always found the same and have these blind spot mirrors attached to my mirrors - you can get them for £3 from Amazon - and they give me a good inclination of where I am compared to other cars or within the lines when bay parking.
Otherwise get out to check, and once you’re back in try to get a reference point
Agree with the Kalms tablets, I take them before every lesson and it helps me relax. I also use this roll on Tisserand Aromatherapy | Total De-Stress | Geranium Pulse Point Aromatherapy Rollerball With Nutmeg & Orange | 100% Pure Essential Oil Blend | 10ml https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00WHKA2VI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JJT549W54Z5WJE4TGAJ4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 that I rub at the back of my neck so when I inhale, the vapour helps my anxiety.
This app is enough. If you have an iPhone find the same on appstore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.tso.ctt
If you feel like you want more clips to practice and want to practice on your pc buy this https://www.safedrivingforlife.info/shop/official-dvsa-guide-hazard-perception-elearning/
OK first of all don't worry buddy. I passed second time yesterday after failing 3 weeks ago due to a serious fault of parking too close to a junction( which I thought was pretty harsh but we move). As for your question what to do is book a test date now for in a few months at any test centre in the country, the longer the better(anything over 1 month is fine). Download this app and pay 18 quid for the autobook feature. You can then select time and day slots at your preferred test centre for when you want your test and the app will autobook it for you whenever a space becomes available in your chosen slot (so basically switches it from your other test date to the new one). It took me two days and I found a test date. Also do remember you have to wait 10 working days before you can sit your test again. Any questions feel free to ask
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08614CCG8/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_T8BT7QW31ZK7NWBF84TH these are good at the base of your back to push you forward a little to reach the pedals. They are also fine to use on test 🙂
recommend you try some anti fog spray for your glasses. I used this off Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Zeiss-Antifog-Effective-Protection-Anti-Fog-Glasses-set/dp/B088HGLNQV/ref=sr_1_10?keywords=anti+fog&qid=1642519861&sr=8-10
and it worked absolutely perfectly for both my lessons and my test
Unfortunately, the Official government-issued and endorsed learning materials are only available in English and Welsh. Other translations exist (i.e. Polish) but they're often accomplished by larger companies/institutions. I looked around for a little while but couldn't find a company that had translated it into Spanish.
I did, however, find this pdf translation of the 2007 edition, which may be of use to you. Of course, this is an unofficial translation so always refer to the Official English/Welsh versions of the Highway Code and/or ask an accredited instructor from the DVSA if you have any questions about it. Good luck!

Lamentablemente, los materiales didácticos oficiales del Gobierno británico sólo están disponibles en inglés y galés. Existen otras traducciones (por ejemplo, al polaco), pero suelen estar escritas por terceros en colaboración con la DVSA.
He buscado un poco, pero no he encontrado ninguna empresa que lo haya traducido al español.
Sin embargo, encontré esta traducción en pdf de la edición de 2007, que puede serte útil. Por supuesto, se trata de una traducción no oficial, así que consulta siempre las versiones oficiales en inglés/galés del Código de Circulación y/o pregunta a un instructor acreditado de la DVSA si tienes alguna duda al respecto. Buena suerte.
This app is on Android and Apple. I passed second time with the app alone. It has many of the same or similar questions in the test itself. I suggest looking at it and other apps, and have a try again. If you don't feel at all happy, don't quit. Just give yourself some breathing space, and come back to it a bit later.

Hello, sorry for the late reply! So I bought this book (as well as a copy of the Highway Code)- https://www.amazon.co.uk/official-theory-drivers-Driving-Skills/dp/0115536582/ref=asc_df_0115536582/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=394304935438&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14881119304548715247&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvq...
I read through the Highway Code first, and then I read through that book once in full, I then went back and answered the questions.
After I did this, I went onto https://www.safedrivingforlife.info I paid for month’s worth of access to more clips and questions. I went through all of the theory questions again, until I got full marks. There’s a section with loads of hazard perception clips, I think about 63 or more? I spent a whole day going through them and not stopping until I got at least 3 points. My subscription ended just before my theory test, so I would do at least one theory and one hazard perception mock test a day after I had gone over all of the material.
One of my biggest weaknesses at the beginning was road signs, and my sister was kind enough to drive around and point out different signs and what they mean. After a while, she stopped telling me, and started asking me what they meant!
I started about 3 months before my theory test and I was super strict with myself, if I was struggling with one topic, I would go over it until I finally got it, and I guess it paid off!!
Get some of these. They are FANTASTIC! I've used different wipes before and they just didn't work, but these work 100% of the time and easy to use. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B088K4XD2S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I used this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.focusmm.DTSCombo&hl=en_GB and passed first time.
49/50 on multiple choice and 60/75 on hazard thanks to this app, just keep doing the mini tests, full tests over and over until you're hitting minimum 80 - 90%. Plus most of the questions in the test were in the app, the videos were not but you still get a better understanding from them.
Read the Highway Code book, you can find it on amazon for cheap here and I used this website which was a huge help to pass my test: http://toptests.co.uk/
