From what I remember when I took the test,

The Reading section is divided into 3 parts:

1st: 20 mins, 1 reading passage
2nd: 40 mins, 2 reading passages
3rd: 40 mins, 2 reading passages

Total of 140 mins (1hr 40 mins)

I think this length varies though, some took it for just an hour.

Type of questions:
1. Multiple choice
2. Drag and Drop the appropriate statements (identify best suited statements for creating a summary)
3. Select all that applies
4. Mark a check to all applicable statements

For reading I would suggest you Arts & Letters Daily - ideas, criticism, debate
It'll help you to build-up your reading ability.
