Driving theory test

Hi, I want to start studying soon but I don’t know where to start:
How long does it take to study if you already have a busy schedule?
What materials would you recommend?
What exactly do you need to know?
What do you wish you’d known?
How good are the apps?

hi!! it honestly doesn't take too long to study, i think i started revising on and off like a week or two before my test, but you can honestly start as late as two days before if you intensely revise for those two days. i also was quite busy leading up to my test as i had an interview and had to revise for exams in that period, and trust me when i say its not worth stressing out too much over.
some of the questions are just common sense, and you'll be able to make a pretty educated guess on them, but still do as many questions as you can beforehand. it's not a difficult test by any means!
i used the official dvsa driving theory app to revise and that was sufficient for me because all the questions on there are the actual ones that come up in the test itself. only thing that i didn't really revise on were the road signs and that honestly was because i couldn't be bothered to, but it may be helpful to revise then a little.

How much time did you spend revising a day roughly? Did you have any kind of routine?

i don't really remember - i did my theory december so it's been a while. i think probably like twenty to thirty minutes a day?
