My usual technique involves: swearing, eye rolling, guessing, getting frustrated and giving up.
Other than that you could try highlighting key points in the ridiculously large bits of info you get given so you don't get confused and flustered by all the irrelevant stuff. That'll speed up the process a bit and help you keep your train of thought. Read through it all CAREFULLY and don't just skim it. Make sure you read the graphs and tables properly and get a clear idea of their meaning.
And just remember, we only have to do one of them now so it's only worth 15% of the total of the paper (of course we do get little mini ones as well but they're a bit less stressful).
