These practice tests help you familiarizing yourself with the test format and time management - critical components for the actual test day. - in addition to the actual content Plus, taking them under timed conditions can really help simulate the real test environment.
Do keep in mind, though, that you don't want to just take the test. It's equally important to review the answers and understand where mistakes were made, as that's where the real learning happens. Rest assured, though, with disciplined practice, even with limited time at your disposal, you can make significant progress.
