Regular practice before taking the test can help alleviate that problem. I don't think it is necessary or even very wise to work backwards on the reading section. Instead, try skipping the passages that are obviously more time-consuming, saving them for the end. The readings are harder? Not really. Just a bit longer. If you have a decent vocabulary and use the correct reading method (i.e. skim most parts of the passage, read only for main idea, purpose, and basic structure), you shouldn't have serious problems.
