    The time you have should be enough, although I obviously do not know how easy or difficult you find the calculations.

    As far as ‘descriptive’ questions are concerned (and by that I assume you mean questions that require written answers) then do not over panic. Partly because there are more marks for the calculation parts, but also because the examiners answers are deliberately much longer than what is required to get the marks, and also most of them are wanting you to prove that you do understand what you have done in the calculations and have not just been applying rules without any understanding.
