Printing help (iPhone / Android)

iPhone (Safari): tap Print below to open the paper, then the share icon → Print. Before printing, check Paper Size: A4 and Scale: 100%.

Android (Chrome): tap Print below to open the paper, then ⋮ → Share → Print (or Print directly). In the print options, set Paper size: A4 and Scale: 100% — not “Fit to page”.

Why it matters: SATs papers are designed for A4 at full size. Shrunk papers cramp the answer spaces — and full-size printing means we can mark photographed pages accurately when marking launches.
