The goal is not to eliminate the pressure completely. It is to create a repeatable process you can still use when you notice the pressure.
Give yourself short pauses before key moments: after the prompt, before presenting a structure, and before interpreting an exhibit. A few seconds of deliberate thinking is usually better than filling the silence immediately.
During practice, recreate the evaluation feeling instead of doing everything alone. Live mocks, timed drills, and interviewers who interrupt or stay neutral can make the pressure more familiar.
After each mock, separate skill errors from pressure errors. That helps you identify whether the issue was case knowledge or losing your process under observation.
