Testing in January; took half-length Blueprint diagnostic today. Where to go next?

I am quite surprised with my score because the only content review I've done so far is like 20% of gen chem and biology, but I did absolutely get lucky on some sections. Even more so having B/B be my lowest is pretty shocking to me considering I haven't taken a chemistry course in several semesters, and I literally took biochemistry/cell biology last semester. My hope is to get as close to 528 as possible, but obviously there's no way to actually confirm I will score that.

I am quite good at memorization but I am a very slow reader; I almost ran out of time across C/P, CARS, and B/B. Does anyone have tips on getting better at this? I have 6 months until the test so I am not sure how much I can improve my speed-reading, but it is the MCAT so I'm pretty sure you're supposed to feel exhausted at the end. Nevertheless, my brain was pretty fried and it was only a half-length so I would appreciate any tips I could get.

I'm confident I can get P/S up with Anki because I haven't taken a psychology class in 5 semesters; does anyone recommend an Anki deck to score a 132, and are there other resources I should utilize? Obviously UWorld but with 6 months to go I'm not sure I should burn through it just yet, especially before any meaningful content review.

I got very lucky with C/P as it only contained basic physics and gen chem stuff that I covered more recently. I daresay that my C/P score would have been more like my B/B score if I simply had worse luck with the questions. Any tips for these two sections beyond just content review w/ Anki, and UWorld?
