## Description

Figuring out what an SAT score means used to be a mess of confusing charts and generalized advice. This MCP changes that. You feed it the raw number of correct answers from Reading/Writing and Math, and your agent immediately converts those counts into standardized scaled scores for each section. Next, you get the total composite score, which helps paint the full picture of your readiness. Even better, it determines your global percentile rank so you know exactly how you stack up against others nationwide. Finally, it gives you a direct comparison to benchmarks from Top 50 US universities—that’s real context for college admissions. You connect this MCP through Vinkius and keep all that scoring data right where you need it.

## Tools

### calculate_aggregate_score
Computes the total composite SAT score based on section inputs.

### evaluate_percentile_rank
Determines your global percentile tier relative to all test-takers.

### get_section_scaled_score
Converts a raw count of correct answers into the standardized scaled score for one specific section.

### assess_university_competitiveness
Compares your final scores against benchmarks from Top 50 US universities.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I got 45 correct in Reading & Writing and 48 correct in Math. What is my total score?
```

**Response:** 
```
Your scaled scores are 720 for Reading & Writing and 760 for Math, resulting in a total composite SAT score of 1480.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a score of 1500 competitive for top US universities?
```

**Response:** 
```
A score of 1500 is considered highly competitive for many top-tier institutions.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What percentile rank corresponds to a total score of 1200?
```

**Response:** 
```
A total score of 1200 falls into the Average performance tier.
```

## Capabilities

### Get Section Scaled Scores
It translates a raw count of correct answers into the standardized, measurable scaled score for any specific SAT section.

### Calculate Total Composite Score
The tool computes your combined total SAT score from all sections.

### Determine Global Percentile Rank
It places your overall score within the national percentile tier, showing where you rank globally.

### Assess University Competitiveness
The MCP compares your final scores directly against known benchmarks used by top US universities.

## Use Cases

### Planning for Ivy League Goals
A student enters their scores and asks if they are competitive for top-tier schools. The agent runs `assess_university_competitiveness` and confirms that while the score is strong, they might need to target specific supplemental testing areas.

### Reviewing a Practice Test
A parent feeds in raw scores from a mock test. The agent runs `get_section_scaled_score` for both sections and then uses `calculate_aggregate_score` to give them the total composite score, showing immediate areas needing work.

### Understanding National Standing
A student wants to know if their 1300 total is average. They use `evaluate_percentile_rank`, and the system shows that while it's good, they sit in the 'Above Average' tier—a much more specific answer than just a number.

### Quick Score Verification
A counselor needs to quickly verify if a student’s 1450 score is competitive. They run `assess_university_competitiveness` and get an instant read on which universities are in the 'Highly Competitive' zone for that number.

## Benefits

- You stop guessing about what a score means. The `assess_university_competitiveness` tool gives you direct context by comparing your results to Top 50 US university benchmarks.
- It breaks down the whole process, too. You don't just get a total; the system first uses `get_section_scaled_score` to give you standardized scores for Reading/Writing and Math separately.
- Understanding relative performance is key. Use `evaluate_percentile_rank` to see exactly how your score stacks up against millions of other test-takers nationwide.
- It gives the full picture with `calculate_aggregate_score`, providing a reliable total composite SAT score that's ready for college applications.
- You gain actionable data. The combination of these tools lets you pinpoint weak areas, which helps focus your studying effort.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get a complete academic profile—not just a single number—showing where your current scores fall nationally and academically.

1. Start by inputting the raw number of correct answers for both Reading & Writing and Math sections.
2. The system first converts these raw counts into standardized scaled scores, then uses those to calculate your total composite score.
3. Finally, it determines your global percentile rank and compares that total against Top 50 US university benchmarks.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I use the calculate_aggregate_score tool?**
You input the scaled scores for all sections, and the tool immediately computes your total composite SAT score. It's the necessary final step after getting individual section scores.

**What does evaluate_percentile_rank tell me?**
It tells you where you stand nationally by calculating your global percentile tier. This is much more valuable than just knowing a number; it shows your relative performance.

**Is the assess_university_competitiveness tool accurate?**
Yes, this MCP compares your score directly against known benchmarks from Top 50 US universities. It gives you immediate context for admissions planning.

**What is the first step using get_section_scaled_score?**
You provide the raw count of correct answers for a specific section, and this tool returns the standardized scaled score (200-800). This initial number feeds all subsequent calculations.

**If I use get_section_scaled_score with raw data that doesn't match the expected format, what happens?**
The system returns a specific error code and message. You must provide whole number counts of correct answers for both sections to calculate an accurate scaled score.

**Are there any setup requirements when I run calculate_aggregate_score across different AI clients?**
No, this MCP connects directly through your agent. You just need access via an MCP-compatible client; no specific account type or extra configuration is needed to use the total composite score.

**Is there a rate limit when running evaluate_percentile_rank multiple times in one session?**
We advise spacing out your requests. While the catalog supports high volume, rapid sequential calls can trigger temporary throttling to maintain stable performance for all users.

**What data set does assess_university_competitiveness use when making comparisons?**
It uses a regularly updated benchmark dataset derived from historical Top 50 US university admission requirements. This gives you a current estimate of where your score stands against established norms.
