Hans....in Victoria the higher level maths offered is Maths Methods (and MM CAS) and Specialist Maths.
Now each of these has 2 final exams and the 1st of each is "non calculator".
This non calculator exam is mutli choice, short and some extended answer. The Questions are written so you can do the answers quickly if you know your processes.
The other exam is written so it encompass use of non-calculator answers and also some that require knowledge of using the calculator.
Extended Answers in both exams must have the working out logic progression written down otherwise you do not get full marks.
The Maths in these subjects is quite intensive, especially Specialist maths.
Kids these days who do these subjects and score well ..... do know their stuff...contrary to popular belief.
Also the lower level maths is also reasonably intensive for the subject matter they cover, "having a calculator" does not dumb them down.
As for "goto"...meh...I'd rather spend my time doing what I want than spending hrs finding objects.
