Having started from pole on his GP2 debut at Sakhir last month, ART driver Hulkenberg grabbed the top spot again in the floodlit Losail session in the closing moments with a lap of 1:35.741.
That gave him first place by a commanding 0.7 seconds over Campos's Sergio Perez, who was victorious in the last race in Bahrain.
Perez's teammate Vitaly Petrov, who had led the way in first practice, ended up third having led the way for most of the session. The Russian was in front when iSport's Hamad Al Fardan spun into the gravel and caused a red flag with three and a half minutes to go, and when qualifying resumed for a final sprint, Petrov was shuffled down the order by Hulkenberg and Perez.
Championship leader Kamui Kobayashi (DAMS) grabbed fourth late in the session, ahead of Piquet's Roldan Rodriguez and Hulkenberg's ART teammate Sakon Yamamoto.
