VCE Formula Sheets and Data Books (VCAA): Every Study's Official Sheet
VCAA publishes an official formula sheet or data book for the VCE studies below, and each one has its own guide on what it prints and what it leaves out. Pick your study, read its guide, and print the sheet from VCAA for practice.
This page lists the sheets we cover, checked against the VCAA files linked in each guide. For the exam each sheet belongs to, see the VCE exam timetable and how to prepare for VCE exams.
Which VCE studies have a formula sheet guide?
- Mathematical Methods: VCE Mathematical Methods formula sheet. Four sections (mensuration, calculus, probability and sample proportions), with the exam format in the Methods exam guide.
- Specialist Mathematics: VCE Specialist Mathematics formula sheet. Seven sections over six pages of tables.
- General Mathematics: VCE General Mathematics formula sheet. The sheets for Exam 1 and Exam 2.
- Chemistry: VCE Chemistry data book. The 2026 data book, version 2.
- Physics: VCE Physics formula sheet. The 2026 formula sheet.
Other studies, such as Accounting, have no sheet guide here. Start from the study's exam guide, for example the VCE Accounting exam guide.
Frequently asked questions
Which VCE studies give you a formula sheet or data book in the exam?
The studies covered here are Mathematical Methods, Specialist Mathematics, General Mathematics, Chemistry (a data book) and Physics (a formula sheet). VCAA publishes each sheet on the study's examination page. Whether a sheet is supplied in your own exam is set by the study design and VCAA's Exams Navigator, so check both for your study.
Where do I get the official VCAA formula sheet to print?
From VCAA's examination page for your study, which links the current sheet as a PDF. The guides below describe each sheet in their own words and do not reproduce it, so print the VCAA file for practice and check its cover date before the exam.
