My D, a really fast test taker, didn’t quite finish the reading section either, though she got a 33. That section can be long if you pause and deliberate at all. The trick is to not mentally self-destruct if that happens.

As a counter-example, my son took several practice ACT tests, scoring between 28 and 33, then got a 26 on the real one. He wasn’t close to finishing the reading portion and did kind of like you. Some days are just better than others.
