Hey, may be a bit late for help but yes the questions are similar to the sample questions.  As long as you have read the book it's no harder than your L-plates test.

I did my test at a night session, a bit of a different way.  An ex-cargo ship captain ran sessions at patterson river, covering all the things you need to know for the test and mixes it in with his own stories and hints/tips as well as extra info on safety and first aid etc.  Took about 3 hours - at the end of this, you get a simple 10-question test then a certificate.  Take the certificate to Vicroads and $28 later they give you the licence.

It's a lot easier and less stressful than a test!  It was ~$50 though for memory, but learnt a lot more from it.
