Check the date of expiry on the rating certificate within your licence.
The 12 hours require to be within the 12 months preceding the date of expiry. That will tell you if the 55 mins is allowable or not.
It is not the date of test that is important but the date of expiry of the rating.
Also if you do not meet the requirements for revalidation by experience you can revalidate by undertaking a proficiency check with an examiner within the three months preceding the date of expiry.
