I've found the headspace app really useful! Daily meditation to try to improve my overall relationship with anxiety! Maybe worth a go? There's also a 54321 anxiety exercise that can help to rapidly ground you (it'll be easily googled!)

Positive visualisation is definitely a key one for me. Imagine yourself on the exam day giving it your best shot regularly and getting yourself to visualise yourself completing stations and reactions of the patient and examiner. Simulating that can help you become used to the environment slightly to prepare yourself for the exam day.

Lots of active practice also helps!
