Okay, I'm a little confused here. Would I write "on to" or "onto" in this sentence?
“You have done it. It is time to move on to your next trial.”
Help!

Move on... to... your next trial. "Move on" is one unit; "to" is another...
Onto has a specific meaning (yeah, what Duncan said):
I jumped onto the box and started yelling, "Don't use onto!"
