With the digital SAT, students now have access to a built-in Desmos calculator for the entire math section. Knowing how to use it wisely can save time and points.
Smart Calculator Techniques
Use graphing for equation intersection problems.
Double-check large number calculations instead of mental math.
Store common expressions for repetitive use.
However, don’t rely entirely on the calculator. Some questions are faster by reasoning. TheUniquePrep’s training tests help you practice this balance before exam day.
