Page "Graphing calculator" Paragraph 19

** Victoria – the VCE specifies approved calculators as applicable for its mathematics exams.

For Further Mathematics an approved graphics calculator ( for example TI-83 / 84, Casio 9860, HP-39G ) or CAS ( for example TI-89, Classpad 300, HP-40G ) can be used.

Mathematical Methods and Mathematical Methods CAS have a common technology free examination consisting of short answer and some extended answer questions.

They also each have a technology assumed access examination consisting of extended response and multiple choice questions: a graphics calculator is the assumed technology for Mathematical Methods and a CAS for Mathematical Methods CAS.

These two exams have substantial material in common but also some distinctive questions.

Specialist Mathematics has a technology free examination and a technology assumed access examination where either an approved graphics calculator or CAS may be used.

Calculator memories are not required to be cleared.

In subjects like Physics and Chemistry, students are only allowed a standard scientific calculator.
