Im gonna be doing my test in a few months time, so Id also like too know:

-Is it neccesary to downshift when stopping too a halt, if so, does it get confusing too downshift when braking, as in too much work and things get on top of you?
Where I did my test drive,in Belgium, it was necessary to be able to downshift when braking, but only when nearing a red stop light and slow moving or stopped objects.

I don't think it gets confusing at all ; downshifting is the only thing you have to focus on in the beginnning, and just use the brake to stop from 20 mph to 0 and to make your brakelight light up.

But I guess if you practice, it will go as a blast and love it in no time !

As said before, The manual tranny is way better for enjoying driving.

Peace , Olivier
