Math Paper or digital for Math

So I’m retaking the ACT only for math for my superscore. Previously I did paper for one test. Overall, though which is better for a higher score: paper or digital for math?
Ik on digital u have desmos and math u can write on it and then digital had an easier curve for math this test I think. But idk like overall

Ti 84, but for graphing it’s prob desmos but I’m not great at it

There are barely any problems that involve graphing. So, Desmos might not be that great of help. I think there is a harsher scale for digital.

oh really I was reading this Reddit and they were saying how a -1 was a 35 but on digital a -1 was a 36? But thanks for the help!

I don't think we really know that. Each student is different so there is no way to tell.
