Question How did YOU cope with the skills test diversion?

Can anybody give me some tips on how to best handle the 'unexpected' diversion in the skills test?. .. .I'd personally prefer to use the whiz wheel to calculate the wind drift and true heading, but have been told that it is impracticable to use during the test, because there isn't time to get it out and use it.. .. .Consequently, I've been practising different mental techniques of working out the wind effect, (both from my instructor, and what I've found in articles/books), but find that I can use the wheel faster!. .. .What methods have other people employed, and how good did you find them. Any help appreciated, as skills test is looming on the horizon, and scaring the s*** out of me with this uncertainty
