My opinion is "do reboot in the exam". If you get into trouble you
should be able to solve it. I guess it makes sure that all your
configs are working fine.

Another expierence in the lab was that, before rebooting i was able to
get all the routes. Everything worked fine. After i reloaded my
routers i saw some one or two addresses which didn't appear in my
routing table. I had to tweak the redistribution little to get it
right.

For me the reloading exercise made sure I didn't miss anything. So I
would definately recommend it.
