This topic appears on an exam with a probability of 100%.
Tasks 1 and 2 come in either order: one is on Probability & Combinatorics, the other on Trigonometry.
Sorted by exam topic, with your answers checked as you go.
Graphs you can drag and exercises right in the text.
Tasks come with worked solutions, so you see at which step you went wrong.
The “Probability & Combinatorics” topic is open in full, no registration needed. Full access unlocks every topic.

The written paper has two parts, and you need at least half the points in each. If one part is below 50 %, the exam is failed, even when the overall percentage is high. Below is an example.
Ergänzungsprüfung Mathematik · schriftlich
| Part | Points | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Teil 1 · Wahrscheinlichkeit, Trigonometrie, Vektoren | 9 / 20 | 50 % |
| Teil 2 · alle anderen Kapitel | 30 / 35 | 50 % |
| Total | 39 / 55 |
Ergebnis: nicht bestanden

The exam pass (€79) gives 3 months of access from the day you pay and then ends on its own. The monthly plan (€39) runs one month at a time and renews until you cancel it.
The exam pass is a single payment: it never renews and there is nothing to cancel. The monthly plan renews every month; you can cancel it at any time from your account page, and access continues until the end of the month you have already paid for.
Not yet: the course prepares you for the written exam. We will add an oral exam trainer soon.
The written paper has two parts. The first covers probability and statistics, trigonometry and vectors, the second all the other topics: Curve Sketching, Functions & Tangents, Definite Integrals, Indefinite Integrals, Exponential Functions, Sequences & Series, Newton's Method, and Optimization.
At least 50 % in each of the two written parts; there is no separate overall minimum. The overall percentage then sets the grade: from 87.5 % a 1, from 75 % a 2, from 62.5 % a 3, from 50 % a 4.
Yes. Every task must be worked out on paper, side calculations included. A correct result without a traceable solution is marked Nicht beurteilt, not assessed.
A simple non-programmable calculator from the VWU's list. The list itself is not public, so check your model with your course teacher or the VWU. The ÖBV Mathematische Formelsammlung and the formula sheet on vectors are allowed with no notes in them; both are checked, and anything else is taken away.
You may take it only after passing the written part. You get two questions and about 20 minutes to prepare, and both answers must be positive. Course students skip it if 3 of their 4 bonus grades from the exercises are positive.
The Past exams section collects past VWU written maths exams. You can solve them with a timer, as in the real exam.
The fee is €66 for each attempt. The exam is held three times a semester, and you can retake it up to four times.
Yes, you can register without attending a course. Candidates outside the course get information from the course leader, johann.brandstetter@vwu.ac.at.
