Digital SAT
When should I use Desmos on SAT Math?
Short answer
Use Desmos when graphing, intersections, checking answer choices, or visualizing a function is faster than symbolic algebra. Stay with algebra for short arithmetic or direct substitution.
What to do next
After each math miss, label it graph it, solve it, or verify it so the calculator decision becomes automatic.
The common mistake
Opening Desmos on every question can waste time on problems that are faster by hand.
