Your mind goes blank mid-case. What now?

It happens, and it is not a dealbreaker. Recovery is what gets assessed. Take a breath and restate the overall question to regain focus. Break it into smaller solvable pieces. Recap what you have covered and what is still open, which reorients you and your interviewer at the same time. A tracker page with the question at the top and your structure below keeps you oriented even after a bad moment.
