We describe the three electron-transport algorithms that have been implemented in the ITS Monte Carlo codes. While the underlying cross-section data is similar, each uses a fundamentally unique method, which at a high level are best characterized as condensed history, multigroup, and single scatter. Through a set of comparisons with experimental data and some comparisons of purely numerical results, we discuss various attributes of each of the algorithms and show some of the defects that can affect results.
