Another pretty good one is ELLO. they have some good practice features, too. I agree with your comments on the ESL podcards... being able to read and hear is very important. Also, short passages makes them more accessible and digestible for the average learner (those pressed for time).

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.
