Microscopic tests of the exact results are performed in $N=2$ supersymmetric $SU(2)$ QCD. We present the complete construction of the multi-instanton in $N=2$ supersymmetric QCD. All the defining equations of the super instanton are reduced to the algebraic equations. Using this result, we calculate the two-instanton contribution ${\cal F}_2$ to the prepotential ${\cal F}$ for the arbitrary $N_f$ theories. For $N_f=0,1,2$, instanton calculus agrees with the prediction of the exact results, however, for $N_f=3,4$, we find discrepancies between them. We propose improved curves of the exact results for the massive $N_f=3$ and massless $N_f=4$ theories.
