If you've read the "learners" book inside out you'll have no problems answering the questions. I remember when I did my test....some were kinda tricky....Like ..how far from a fire hydrant do you park...gives you 3 answers...something like 3metres, 3 feet or 3 cms...(something like that)....or..which way are your wheels turned if you were to park on an up hill.......So , best study the book from the drivers place ...if you've done that., you should be good to go*
Good Luck*~

Know what the different shapes and colors of street signs mean. And the symbol for slow moving vehicle. How to parallel park uphill and down hill (which way to turn the wheels, etc.). Know what broken and solid white and yellow lines on the streets mean. How far a distance there should be between your vehicle and the one in front of you. How to adjust your driving in bad weather. I think there was a question about drunk driving laws. That's all I can remember right now. Get the book and look through it a few times before your test, if you haven't already. Good luck.
(edit) I'm sorry, I didn't realize you are in Australia. I gave tips according to the test in the United States.

Hey! I got mine almost a year ago and let me tell first of all, it really isn't that hard. here's the thing though, you'll hear of people who take ten times to pass it and then theres people who study the book on the way there and pass it! theres a variety. I'm definitly not the latter one, so all I did was study the darn book, and then have family members or friends quize me some. I'm not sure where you're taking it but I did it in south carolina and i don't know if there's any difference in the test depending on area, I'm sure there is, but in that case you just adapt, like, if you live in a particularly snowy area or just plain bad weather area then I'm guessing that they'll probably ask a few of those questions,for example what to do if you start to hydroplain, or just stuff like that so make sure you know that kinda stuff (in example). There's either a written test or a computerized one,I did computerized,I think computerized is pretty standard everywhere, but I'm not sure. as far as computerized goes, it's multiple choice. So they'll ask a question that usually has an image with it and you just press a,b,c,or,d. make sure you know your most important road signs like when your entering a school district , pedestrian signs, speed limit ,rail road, stuff like that. also the speed limit in residential areas when theres no sign( I think it's 35), what to do if your breaks jam (tap your breaks don't slam them) where to look when you can't really see the road ( the white line on your right), it might throw in some tricky ones like what side do you turn youre wheels when your park on a steep hill on the left side of the road ( I don't remember that one,hehe). but if it helps any I'm pretty sure you can get up to six wrong before you fail. just don't get six wrong! I hope I helped at least a little bit! good luck ! don't forget to study!

I'm not sure where you are, but you should have the handbook. It has all the information you need to know for the test, and a practice test. At DMV in California, they are free. There are different laws in different regions, so you need to have the handbook for your region.
Most of the questions are common-sense as long as you can understand them. You should know the speed limits for certain areas (residential, school areas, business districts, etc), and when you can or can't make certain turns (u-turn, 3-point turn, etc). You should also know what signs mean (Stop, Yield, those symbol signs, etc).
You definitely need the handbook...
