But an actually useful tip that I have used successfully is to take notes when they ask you a question, if you are brave enough. Ask/tell them that's what you will be doing at the start
That slows things right down, establishing psychological domination over the panel, but more helpfully it overcomes the inevitable brain freeze as you try and recall the 3rd thing that you wanted to say about the topic.
They ask a question, you jot your note of the 3 things you want to talk about before you start talking, there will be an awkward silence while they wait expectantly, and then refer to the note when you answer - it can even create the impression that you're on top of things, an in control management operator type, quite simple but it does take a bit of nerve
Honestly that's a great tip
My version of catalog's advice is
Show you understand,
Give an example,
Don't bullshit too much
Always ask them to repeat at least one of the questions, especially if you veer off, or forget what you needed to say
Prepare in advance 3 things to say about whatever they put in the jd and always have some questions for them, they always ask if you have any questions at the end and if you are not too cheesed off with the whole thing you can pretend that you are checking out whether they fit your criteria
With these techniquez I tend to get on better at interviews than jobs
Your brain is pretty together craner, you will waltz through it
