Sucking at Interviews

Studied the technicals, understood all theories, practiced mock interviews and genuenly spent countless nights strudying in my tiny cramped apartment. And yet come interview time, I freeze up like a deer on the autobahn. 

What can I do? Even more practice? More mock interviews?

I feel like I can teach a class on all of the BIWS content, and yet I still struggle to think of the answers on the spot. 

Is there hope?
