This will give you boosting confidence for the final day. All try to jot down important points on small presentation cards; this will help during the presentation, in case you forget any point.

8.       Keep An Eye Contact

Eye-Contact is essential for impressive presentation. Make sure to establish a proper eye contact with the audience during the presentation.
