It's natural to be nervous, part of it helps you to do better, but mostly it's just a pain. Eat a banana before your performance, they block beta endorphins which make u nervous. And remember to bring everything, I showed up to a performance without my flute once, that was embarrassing.

Remember that your examiner(s) want to get the best out of you, not to try and find out what you can't do. You've done all you can do at this stage (including posting this question) - make sure your flute and music are ready for tomorrow and get some rest.
In the morning rise at your normal time and do lots of long notes. Play the beginning and endings of each of your pieces and, if you feel like it, play one or all of them through.
When you get to your exam, find out where you can 'warm up'. Don't play the pieces but again, play some long notes and (if required) a few scales. Think about your tempi and make sure you don't exceed those speeds.
At the exam be pleasant with your examiner(s). Don't look at them when playing - pick a fixed point in the room/hall when you're not looking/coordinating with your accompanists.
Above all, think positive - you sound as if you're very conscientious and now you need to enjoy your playing!
All the very best,
Peter

Just focus on the flute. Just keep looking at the flute. Zone out of the audience and just focus on your music. The audience will be dark, the spotlight on you, so it will be hard to see them anyway. Just convince yourself that this is no different than practice.
