Exams are not just for passing. They're designed to help you in your progress. It may well be that you think you're not prepared yet for it, but it's going to happen anyway - unless you run away! But don't do that. Take the exam, and then read carefully what the examiner tells you about your playing. It may be 'alright on the night', and you pass. If not, the examiner will have noted lots of places where (and how) improvement will help in your playing. Report back to teacher for more advice.
At 11, you've done really well (as have your teachers) to get to grade VIII. I guess most players get there in late teens - I was 21. Next time, with whatever exam it is, make certain that you only present yourself when you are ready and prepared. At 11, you probably didn't have a lot of say in the matter. But, it's you in the spotlight, so you need to have your opinion listened to; teachers are not always right - I know - I've been one for 50+yrs!
Most people feel a heck of a lot of pressure where exams are concerned - rightly so, as they're not cheap to enter, and often a future depends on them. At 11, maybe not so much for you, but it still hurts if you don't do as well as expected. Adults are really good at putting pressure on kids. It's partly their job... But at your stage in playing, you have rights too.
Go, do your best, and use the exam as another lesson. Do what you do best, that's all. And remember that the examiner will have been in your position at some time in their lives themselves!
Grade 8 piano at age 11 is very impressive! I didn't get there until I was 17.
What's the worst that can happen? You get flustered, get low marks and have to try again. No-one dies.
But it seems your teacher thinks you'll be OK.
