Introducing BigFuture School
BigFuture® School is a new mobile app designed to spark students' interest in planning for the future. Available to students who take certain College Board assessments during the school day, it provides college and career guidance the moment they get their scores.

Connections Puts Privacy First
Available through the BigFuture School app, Connections™ is a free program exclusively for school day test takers that allows them to hear from nonprofit colleges and scholarship programs that may be a good match. Note: Districts and schools may choose not to provide access to Connections. With Connections, no personal information is shared with institutions unless a student chooses to connect and share information directly with them. This gives students and their families more control over when, or whether, they raise their hands and want to be seen. The goal is to create more opportunities for all students considering their options after high school. With input from students, families, and education professionals, BigFuture School and Connections will expand and improve to help every student get on the best path to college.
On average, students who choose to connect with colleges are 25% more likely to enroll, and 31% more likely to graduate on time from a four-year college. Those gains are even greater for Black and Hispanic students.
Accessing BigFuture School
When students 13 and over in the United States take the digital PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and SAT School Day, they'll have the option to share their mobile number.
Text Notifications
After testing, they’ll be texted a link to download the app, a code they can use to log in, and an alert when scores are ready.
Privacy First
Their phone number won't be shared or used for any other reason.
Ready to Explore
Once students are on the mobile app, they can check their scores, start to receive messages on colleges and careers, and opt into Connections.
More Ways to View Scores
In addition to BigFuture School, students will have other ways to access their scores.
As always, students can log in to their personal College Board accounts at studentscores.collegeboard.org to get additional insights about their scores, and explore BigFuture and other resources.
