Are the paper tests still worth doing?
Yes. The skills overlap heavily: algebra, data, grammar and reading for evidence. Paper tests are also longer, which builds stamina for test day.
What can't paper tests teach you?
- How the second module adapts to the first.
- The real Bluebook timer, tools and question navigator.
- Working with the built-in Desmos calculator.

Questions students ask
Will my paper test score match my Digital SAT score?
Not exactly. Treat it as a practice score that shows your progress, not a prediction.
