I found the audio CD very useful, think I got mine from Galloway field sports. you can listen to it in the car when driving around. Just relax you will have a good time and all you need to know is normally taught on the course
For mock questions i found the UDD to be excelent for my needs.

I used:
dsctraining.org
...I found it very helpful and I think it might be what you are looking for.
One other thing to add: don’t panic! You haven’t even started your face-to-face training yet. I think you will find things start to fall into place as soon as you do. Trying to pass the assessment by just reading the manual, while it may be possible, certainly won’t be easy.

I have a PDF version of the questions and I have marked the answers as I found them in the manual. It takes a lot of hunting to find the answers and really makes you read it which is great for me.. I am slightly nerdy like that though.
If you DM me I can send you the marked up PDF. I am missing a few as still not found them.
ALSO note the shooting test will be changing as of 1st April this year. Good write up on the changes in the BASC mag this month but basically. 2 shots 100m prone (centre mass kill zone) 2 shots 70m sitting/kneeeling/standing your choice (centre mass kill zone) 2 shots 10-20m standing (head kill zone). and you have to wear safety glasses for the 10-20m standing shots. The glasses are an obvious saftety thing at that range. distance between 10 and 20m is dependent on the backstop where you are shooting and seems to have been introduced to simulate Humane Dispatch.

DSCtraining.org absolutely brilliant. 30 minutes each day. Really good.

I'm using this app at the moment for my DSC1 in May at it is very helpful can't recommend it enough
Good luck
Apologies - Cant DM you - Would it be possible to get a copy of the Q&A for DSC1. Many thanks, L
Will definitely give it a look over - I have my DSC 1 course booked and have the training materials - just nothing to fully confirm if i've answered my bank of questions correctly, as some were quite similar and i'm on the fence between two.

Just an observation from when I took my DSC1, the shooting test seamed to cause more white knuckles than the written exam.
Most of my course has to shoot again the following day. I don't know how they got on. I do think it was nerves that got to them as most were relatively experienced shooters.
