Thus... she confessed outright... after much testing and beating around the bush.
She did tell him she was testing him... and he was cluless about what.
Conveniently for Hitagi, Koyomi feels the same way and likes her more than Hanekawa... so she lucked in.
In episode 2 Hitagi probed Araragi about the nature of his relationship with Hanekawa.
Remember the lines ... "don't worry I'll keep it a secret from Hanekawa-san" during the "are you a virgin" act ?
Also rememebr, she pointed out that her assumptions about Hanekawa being his crush was because they (Koyomi and Tsubasa) were always together.
If Hanekawa is as smart as Senjougahara knows she is, then that means Hanekawa is well aware of Araragi's good qualities... it would only be a matter of time before Hanekawa made a move. She is always with him after school... so the odds were in Hanekawas favour.
Hitagi was not going to wait... not on that.
Notice also when Kanbaru went on a date with Koyomi, it prompted Senjougahara to move a step rapidly forward and ask Koyomi out herself. Asking her Father for help for the date as well.
In a way... Kanbaru having a great time with Koyomi rattled Hitagi's nerves abit.
Which Hanekawa warned Koyomi about.. He can't be too mice to Kanbaru or other women.
The way I sum it up... when Hitagi moves, she moves decisively and with maximum momentum.
Her punches are hard.
Like a sledghammer to a wall. She will succeed.

Perfect breakdown of Hitagi's though process. she is also a very calculating individual and is not scared to manipulate Araragi into getting what she wants.
