Talk your way out loud through the maneuvers. (I'm sure that helps calm the DPE when they can figure out what you're about to do!) That helped me calm down (I was focusing on that rather than trying to "look good" for the DPE). Like the others said, you obviously know how to do it, otherwise your instructor wouldn't sign you off for it.
Something our DPE here likes to get people on is a diversion that if you just start turning towards the diversion airport (I know I was originally taught to turn in the general direction of the diversion airport, then start figuring out specific headings, etc) you head straight towards P-40 (Camp David!) Take a second to look at where you are on the sectional compared to where you want to go.
