Short guided lessons take you from your first typed fraction to full questions, one skill at a time, on a calculator laid out the way the test shows it.
Chapter 1 of 6 · Before lesson 1

Chapter 1Type every symbol from your keyboard
Chapter 2Define a function once and evaluate it anywhere
Chapter 3Read answers from intersections and turning points
Type every symbol instead of clicking the on-screen keypad
Clicking the Desmos keypad with your mouse is slow: you hunt for each symbol, click it, and click back into the input box. Over a whole math section, that can cost you two to three minutes you need for questions.
Every button on the keypad has a keyboard shortcut, and this chapter practices each one. Each lesson shows the exact keys to press.
Every shortcut the typing lessons teach
