I'm pretty sure Rapid Chess means Rapidly Make an Error Chess, at least it does in my case! Any hints on how to avoid mistakes under pressure?

First, try playing longer time control (15+10). You will have huge amount of time, so pressure is almost not felt.

Second, train at solving chess puzzles (chess.cpom has several kinds), keep practicing so you will spend less time thinking.

The more you play rapid, the better you’ll get at handling time pressure and spotting errors before they happen. Experience is key.
