you'll be just fine

i'm a rather quick test taker myself and i usually have time to check over things once and still have 5-10 mins left per block

so i use that time as my "break": nutrigrain + water + bathroom (if it's close by, which it was in my testing center)

after 3 blocks, I take a 15 minute break in addition to my usual 5-10 min break

after another 3 blocks, I use my remaining break time which is ~30-45 minutes

then I'm left refreshed and ready to tackle that last block

I'm sure you already know by now but definitely run through the sample questions and instructions at home. That way, you can skip the tutorial and go right into questions on test day. They take that 15 min tutorial out of your break if I remember correctly. Skip it and you should have a full hour to spend (in addition to any extra time you generate by finishing earlier in a block)
