To give yourself the best chance, select a Part 147-approved school that offers places in examinations to all-comers, and runs reasonably frequent sessions at which you can sit any Module. You will have to do some research on this; start with the CAA list of Part 147 approved Basic Training providers and talk to them. There are only a dozen or so in the UK.
Then buy that school's Module Notes and use those as the basis for your studies. Their exam questions will be drawn from those Notes.
Do not believe anyone who suggests that because the syllabus is the same for everyone, all Part 147-schools in the UK, (or EASA-land for that matter) teach the same stuff and examine to the same standard. They do not, and there is no attempt to harmonise examination marking and standards among approved schools. Avoid UK CAA exams if you can.
Supplement the reading with well known text books if you want to clarify things.
One of the problems is making sure that both what you learn and the examination you take are up to date with the new Part 66 pubished in ED 1149/2011. Getting the material and the exams from the same provider should eliminate the difficulty, but watch out for exams being updated after you buy the Notes.
