I did. If you have been preparing for the GMAT for a bit (a couple of months).

I would recommend you take a mock EA test and go for the real thing. The content of the test is largely the same anyway.

Good luck :)

Things have been super stressful at work lately for a variety of reasons & a couple of weeks ago I decided to raise the issues with my Creative Director.

Today he asked me to send an email to him about how overworked I am so that he can use it to talk to management. (cont. in comments)
