Your teachers could use the summer 2015 paper, the November 2015 paper, an older paper, an official 2015 mock paper that edexcel have recently provided or a paper that they have made themselves. Cheating on your mock by seeing the paper beforehand won't help you do well in the real exam.

Anything that wasn't on your non-calculator paper could appear on calculator so think back to what was on it. Scatter graphs? Box plots? Cumulative frequency? Factorise? Expand brackets? Vectors? Simultaneous equations? Algebraic fractions / algebraic fraction equations ....
Many of the topics that will be there will not require a calculator.
Topics that do often feature are:
Pythagoras
Trigonometry (SOHCAHTOA)
Advanced trigonometry (sine, cosine and area of a triangle rules)
Area and volume, especially involving circles or prisms.
Trial and improvement
Solving quadratics using the formula
Estimate a mean from grouped data
Histograms (if not on non calc)
Cumulative frequency (if not on non calc)
Probability (any topics not on non calc)
% problems that need a calculator using multipliers
Reverse % (original price calculations)
Compound interest.
Value for money calculations.

And at the risk of repeating, ANY topic that could be done with or without a calculator that wasn't tested on non-calc (algebra, circle theorems, angle facts on parallel lines, interior/exterior angles, bearings.....)
