VCE General Mathematics exam-day checklist
Check the bound reference and calculator requirements for both papers and practise recording answers in the required place.
By ATARMAxxing · Updated
What should you check before the exam?
VCAA lists an approved CAS calculator or authorised CAS software, a scientific calculator and a compliant bound reference for both examinations. Practise finding key pages in your reference and check that its binding meets the current rules.
How can you approach the paper?
Examination 1 is multiple choice and Examination 2 requires written responses. For a matrix, network or finance task, identify the quantities, the model and what the result represents in the problem.
What should you check before you finish?
In multiple choice, check that your selections line up with the question numbers. In written work, check the interpretation of the answer and the requested units, rounding or time period.
