I think it is easier in open water if you can go 400m turn around and return. It slows you way down doing turns in a pool with fins on. Just my opinion. I did all my swim tests one after the other in a small pool that was green and 78F. It sucked.
Just getting yourself into shape to get the 800m in a good time will enable you to trim time from all your other swims and increase your total score without having to do anything extra. Even if you have to do some of them over to better your time it will benefit you in the long run.
You can do it if you really want it.
