Discard Tray Drills Operation
When you hit Launch, the drill will begin. In each drill, tests are presented to which you must respond. A test consists of a display of a discard tray that is partially filled with dealt cards and an array of numbered buttons. You must select the correct button from the array, depending on the drill selected, with the mouse. If you are correct, the button with the selected number turns green and the drill is continued. If you are incorrect, the selected button will turn red and the correct button will turn green. You must press the correct button to continue. You will see the following:
