After the download

A PDF can't grade you.

Paper is great for drilling. What it can't do is adapt the way the real PSAT does, tell you which content domain is costing you points, or what to work on tomorrow. Your account does all three, after every test.

On paperYou hand-grade 98 questions, then guess at a scaled score.
OnlineScored on submit, with a projected total and a range on your PSAT’s scale.
On paperYou know you missed 12 — not which content domain caused it.
OnlineEvery miss mapped to one of the four official content domains.
On paperPaper can’t adapt — everyone gets the same Module 2.
OnlineModule 2 routing that follows your Module 1, the way Bluebook does.
On paperEach test is a dead end — nothing carries over.
