I would strongly suggest go for it(I took mine 3 days ago).

I used to have worry about this test, once I took it and scored 690 it squashed all my worries about it. It is all about pacing in each of the sections.

1. AWA - Make sure you have good examples and write at least 600 words in each of the two. It is the mantra for me and I got a 6.0

2. Quant - I was pacing slower than needed at the beginning to make sure I have lots of corrects, but it is individual style.

3. Verbal - SC is not difficult at all and same for CR. Spare decent time for RC and read thru as if you are critiquing or proof reading for your own magazine and you are the chief editor.

Go with good rest and have snacks handy for the break.

All the best.
