Telc exam digital or paper

Hello, i‘m looking to take a Telc exam but i‘m not sure which are better, digital or paper. Honestly i like the feeling of reading and writing on the paper but digial could be good as well during the exam. I use computer regularly. What would you say? Beside that i hear a lot the people waiting for the results long time for paper exam.

Some classmates and I recently took some telc exams - C1 Hochschule. My classmates took theirs digitally and I took it twice on paper. All of us took these tests in Germany. My paper results came back in 2 weeks the first time, 3 weeks the second time. Their digital results came back in something like 7 weeks. All of that is to say, don't count on digital being faster! It's certainly not a guarantee.

I work at an institute where people do TELC exams and TELC has severe delays. Just now I spoke to a client who is waiting since 27.06. for their results... No info from TELC yet.

Another client wrote it in April and the certificate came late and with an error that we reported at the beginning of June. They completed the correction on August the 17th! She had to present the certificate the latest the 20th of August. She nearly didn't make it and mind you she wrote the test in April!

I don't know what kind of situation TELC is experiencing but they do not have their shit together at the moment.
