GCSE Edexcel Maths - harder or easier?

Do you think the paper tomorrow will be harder or easier compared to the non-calculator?

Generally people say it is harder as you have a calculator... Oddly I'm much better at the calculator paper than non-calculator. I think it will be slightly harder, it's all about doing the past papers and getting familiar with the difficulty and how to handle the questions.

Generally I average around 83 on calculator, from all my recent past papers etc... It might drop to around 78 depending on the difficulty. Overall, hopefully a middle A. I made some silly mistakes on non-calculator however I'm generally much better at calculator.

I used to think i was better at non-calc but after looking like i got below 70 maybe in the 60s i think Calculator should be not as difficult in my opinion. But then again it is edexcel.
