I haven't taken it yet, but I was worried about the same thing and everyone has reassured me that it is not nearly as hard.
Apparently for verbal reasoning, the passages they give you to read are much shorter...

The quantitative reasoning is impossible...it takes me on average about 2 minutes per question so I only ever get 1/2 way before having to start guessing!
