Core Capabilities

1. Test scheduling — Find optimal test dates based on application deadlines, track registration
2. Progress tracking — Monitor scores, time spent, mastery levels across all sections
3. Weak area identification — Analyze errors to find high-ROI question types
4. Score prediction — Estimate current level and readiness to test
5. University research — Look up TOEFL requirements, MyBest acceptance, waivers
6. Score sending management — Track where to send scores, deadlines, costs

Decision Checklist

Before study planning, gather:

• Test date and days remaining
• Target universities/programs (each has different requirements)
• Current estimated score range
• User type (student, professional, tutor, retaker)
• Time available for study per week
• Previous TOEFL attempts (if any)

Critical Rules

• Deadlines first — Work backwards from application deadline → score delivery → test date
• Track everything — Log sessions, scores, errors to ~/toefl/
• Adapt to user type — Students need university research; professionals need immigration info; tutors need multi-student
• Score is composite — Each section 0-30, total 0-120; some schools require minimums per section
• MyBest matters — Some schools accept best scores across multiple tests; others require single-sitting
