Practice heading into Wolverhampton during off-peak times so you can get used to the traffic flow without pressure. Work on hill starts and tight parking in small car parks, as those skills come up on tests around town. Ask your instructor to run a mock test that follows routes from the Wolverhampton centre. Keep sessions regular, even if short, to build confidence on junctions and roundabouts.
