Tallulah, we now love EPGY too, and it's by far the best thing we'e found for math. I recommend that you jump in .5 increments until you find the right level. My DS started it right after he turned 6, and the hardest thing for him was learning not to make "user error" mistakes by leaning on the keyboard or getting the cursor just so w/ the geography/graphing questions that require cursor pinpointing. Fine motor does sometimes come into play.

It took a few weeks of jumping around and changing settings w/ Melissa before we got to the right spot. We started at 2.5 and then quickly jumped to 3. The beginning of 3 was still very easy for DS, but then half way through it got trickier for him and he needed her to add more questions per subset for him to really master. He just moved into Grade 4, and now it's absolutely perfect for him. He gets enough questions to really learn, but still has his "A" (which is easy to obsess about w/ the way that it's always apparent!!).

Good luck with it!
