Theory test

Hi there,
After failing my driving theory test for the fifth time, I'm feeling really disheartened. I've signed up to retake it next month, but I'm concerned that the same thing might happen again.
I've been studying with the DVSA app, but when I take the tests, I keep running into questions that don't seem familiar or different from what I've studied.
Would you kindly provide me with any useful study techniques, extra materials, or particular advice that could help me pass the test at last? I would especially appreciate guidance on:
How to get ready for questions that the app might not cover
Strategies for reducing test anxiety
I need to adjust my strategy, but I'm genuinely committed to passing this time. I would be very grateful for any advice.

The short and blunt answer is you simply haven't been ready for the test. If you revise properly you should have seen pretty much every question, and you keep doing mocks until you're confident of this. if you aren't consistently getting 90%+ scores you aren't ready, likewise walking into a test knowing fine well you're getting 95-100% on your mocks does wonders for test anxiety.

I made heavy use of Top Tests for my revision and found the DVLA/AA material pretty hard to work with.
