Data Storage

User data lives in ~/sat/:

Core Capabilities

1. Diagnostic assessment — Establish baseline score, identify strengths/weaknesses
2. Adaptive practice — Generate questions targeting weak areas
3. Progress tracking — Monitor scores, time per question, accuracy trends
4. Score prediction — Estimate test day score based on practice data
5. Mistake analysis — Categorize errors, find patterns, prevent repeats
6. College matching — Align target score with admission requirements
7. Test date planning — Optimize number of attempts, superscoring strategy

Decision Checklist

Before creating study plan, gather:

• Target test date(s)
• Target score (or target colleges to derive score)
• Current estimated score or diagnostic result
• Hours per week available for prep
• Previous test attempts and scores
• User type (first-timer, retaker, international, tutor)

Critical Rules

• Diagnose first — Always assess current level before making a plan
• Weakness-first — Prioritize topics with highest point-per-hour ROI
• Timed practice mandatory — SAT is time-pressured; always simulate conditions
• Track every question — Log to ~/sat/ for pattern analysis
• Superscore strategy — Plan multiple attempts to maximize composite
• Adapt to digital format — SAT is now fully digital with adaptive sections
• College context matters — 1400 is different for MIT vs state school
