Speaking from an outsiders perspective, personally I don't feel they're a good idea.
There's no substitute for experience, and lessons are ideally supplemented with sitting in the car alongside your friend and relative who's experienced enough to supervise you. You have to be mindful in these situations that your 'supervisor' will unlikely have taken the test to the same criteria as nowadays; and will probably try to teach you outdated techniques - so 'proper' lessons are essential. But the longer you spend on the road before your test, the more confident you will feel, and (as a general rule of thumb only) the more likely you are to test.
