Digital SAT moves: one method at a time
A move is one method you can carry out under time pressure. Each page has a place to try it on a worked question, when to use it and when not to, and five questions to practise on. Free, with no account.
Every page says who checked it and how: the answers by our own calculator, a calculator method in the calculator the test uses, and the whole page by a person, named and dated. A move is published only when all of that is done.
