How can I support my daughter struggling with GCSE exam anxiety

Hi - looking for any guidance please. DD1 in the midst of GCSEs and has come out of each exam utterly distraught, crying, a tearful hot mess. She’s very bright, predicted 7/8/9s and has always done very well, but in this exam setting it seems it’s all too much. She has done 4 exams so far and ran out of time on two and so not completed the paper and says her mind went totally blank on another.
We do not put any pressure on her, she has had a lot of guidance and support at home and school as well as time management chats and remembering to breathe and be calm. She is taking the dog out for walks in an evening and playing sport so is having breaks and is eating well, but it seems that already she is working herself up into a state. Any advice how to manage the next few weeks with her ?!
