I had the same problem as you for some time, and actually just joined the forum so I can comment and try and help you out.
The thing that I did, and it worked for me and another friend of mine, is to take one or two full length tests in their entirety, but not to do them timed. Take it slow, and talking aloud, walk yourself through every step of the question.
For example, if its a physics question, read the question aloud, state the necessary equations, read the part of the passage aloud, and walk yourself through basically every step aloud. This takes a while to do, so be prepared to spend more time on the full lengths ( a normal question should take you a minute, but with this it'll take you longer).
The reason this works is because as your speaking aloud, you have a bit of an out-of-body interpretation of what you are doing, and it lets you more clearly look at the question. With some practice you can eventually talk though each question in your head, and it allows you to have a more analytical approach when answering the question.
If you don't wanna try this on an entire full length, try it (like actually try it, speaking aloud and everything) on a single passage, and you will see the differences. Since you have months to go, the timing (while important) should not bother you as much right now.
Hope this helps
. there's one positive thing about taking it twice.
