VCE Mathematical Methods Exam 2 Practice Exams
VCE Mathematical Methods Exam 2 is the technology-active paper. A CAS calculator is allowed, and the paper has two parts: a section of multiple-choice questions, then extended-response questions where you apply functions, calculus, and probability to longer problems and show working.
The practice exams below are full generated Exam 2 papers combining multiple-choice and extended questions, so you rehearse using the CAS efficiently in the first section and communicating clear method in the second.

What's on VCE Mathematical Methods Exam 2?
Exam 2 is technology-active with two parts: a multiple-choice section that rewards quick, accurate CAS use, and an extended-response section where you set out reasoning and earn method marks across functions, calculus, and probability.
The CAS does the arithmetic; the marks come from choosing the right approach, interpreting output, and structuring a full solution.
How is Exam 2 different from Exam 1?
Exam 1 is technology-free and entirely by hand; Exam 2 hands you a CAS and asks harder, more applied questions in return. The challenge shifts from raw by-hand technique to using the calculator well and communicating extended solutions clearly.
Doing well on both means switching modes cleanly — exact by-hand work for Exam 1, efficient CAS-driven problem solving for Exam 2.
How should you use these practice exams?
Sit a full paper with your CAS under time, treating the multiple-choice section as a speed drill and the extended section as a working-and-interpretation drill. Then download the blank paper and redo the extended parts, checking your set-out against the marks available.
Watch your CAS habits — mode, exact-vs-approximate output, and reading results correctly are where technology-active marks slip away.
