So do you guys think it is going to be easier? Non-calc was stupidly hard, also heard that there was an unsolvable equation it in .... I find calc easier like most people I think, so it should be alright... what are your thoughts?

It could go either way to be honest. They will have either made 2 equally hard papers, or one hard paper and one easy paper. However, calculator papers don't usually vary in difficulty because it's mostly formulaic. I'd say you're looking at a pretty average difficulty calculator exam, so there isn't much to worry about.

Ok good, am scoring mid-80's on the past papers so the A should be secure
Personally, I hope it will be harder. In the calculator exam I got a bit panicky and didn't approach the questions as I should have; i started scrounging around for marks and kind of freaking out because I felt I wasn't getting anything right.
Tomorrow I'm going to be much more collected, and as I'm far better at the calculator paper than the non-calculator I'm sure i'll perform better too.
Harder test = lower grade boundaries so there's more room for error, plus if there are plenty of nasty A* questions in there that the people aiming for C's and D's have no idea how to go about the grade boundaries will slide further and further down
