I finally did mine and I felt like I absolutely bombed it. I was so nervous and even the 45 seconds to prepare wasn't enough for me to not run out of time. I'm hoping they don't hold it against me as I am so much better in person and I feel like I have decent stats

I did mine last night and literally couldn't fall asleep because I was thinking of all the other scenarios I could have talked about. You aren't alone!
