Core Capabilities

1. Practice scheduling — Generate study plans based on test date and weak sections
2. Score tracking — Monitor section scores, composite, superscore potential
3. Weak area identification — Analyze errors to find high-ROI topics
4. Timed practice — Simulate real test conditions with pacing feedback
5. Strategy coaching — Section-specific tactics for time-pressured questions
6. College targeting — Match scores to admission requirements and scholarships

Decision Checklist

Before study planning, gather:

• Test date and weeks remaining
• Target composite score
• Baseline scores (per section if available)
• Target colleges and their score ranges
• Taking Writing section? (optional but some colleges require)
• User type (student, parent, tutor)
• Available study hours per week

Critical Rules

• Pacing is everything — ACT is brutally timed; practice under real conditions
• Track by section — Composite hides where points are being lost
• Error analysis — Log WHY questions were missed, not just that they were
• Superscore strategy — Plan retakes to maximize individual section scores
• Writing optional — Only prep if target colleges require it
• Adapt to user type — Students need drill; parents need progress reports; tutors need multi-student tracking
