Ok im not sure exactly what you mean by digital because its a paper exam. but i built mine in a spreadsheet, printed it, used the printed one. best of both.
editing on paper is miserable and editing digitally is instant, so you want the building to be digital. searching a screen under time is slower than a thumb on a tab, so you want the using to be paper. print it once you stop changing it, which for me was about two weeks out.
omg sorry idk how to edit my post but exactly, this answers it. I was wondering if everyone was using a word doc or using something like excel which I called digital
paper the whole way. i am aware this makes me a caveman

Called out and correct. Closing the thread in my head and opening the spreadsheet
spent a whole evening on this exact question last week and produced nothing. this thread has saved someone two hours, possibly me
