Notice to Schools 25 - 19 March 2026
Consultation: CAS Calculator functionality in 2027 VCE Mathematics examinations
Principals/Directors, VCE Coordinators and teachers of VCE General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, and Specialist Mathematics
The VCAA is currently seeking feedback on the functionality available on the use of Computer Algebra System (CAS) calculators in VCE Mathematics examinations from 2027.
One option the VCAA is exploring is the potential introduction of 'restricted mode' for approved CAS calculators in examinations. Restricted mode removes access to any additional functionality that can be uploaded to the calculator, including user-defined functions (UDFs).
We welcome your feedback on this proposal.
A public consultation survey is available via Survey Login and is open until Thursday 2 April.
Action
Principals/Directors, please ensure that VCE Mathematics teachers and VCE Coordinators are aware of the opportunity to complete the consultation survey.
Critical dates
Thursday 2 April: Last day to complete the consultation survey
