Step 2: Drill Web-Based Template Problems

After practicing problems for a while you can find yourself memorizing the numbers rather than understanding the steps. You'll gain a better understanding of the underlying concepts by applying them to different scenarios. Use our web-based templates to generate infinitely many versions of core problems. You can highlight the problem in your browser and copy/paste it into an Excel spreadsheet. Once you've solved the problem, type your answers back into the browser to have your solution graded.
