You're in Control of Your Information
BigFuture School and Connections were built with privacy in mind.
Connections Puts Students' Privacy First
With Connections, no personal information is shared with institutions. A student chooses to connect and share information with institutions. This gives students and their families more control over when, or whether, they raise their hands to be seen.
Connections content is shared from organizations that are interested in students based on information students, schools, districts, or states provide as part of the eligible in-school assessment. Connections content may also be based on any information students share in BigFuture School, their educational and career interests and preferences shared in BigFuture School, and score ranges on any of their past and future SAT, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10, and any AP Exams to make connections that are relevant to students.
Frequently Asked Questions
BigFuture School is available to domestic, in-school test takers 13 and older who take the PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, PSAT/NMSQT, and SAT School Day. Using BigFuture School is optional. Students, you have the option to provide a mobile number during exam setup to gain secure access to BigFuture School. By providing a mobile number, you agree to receive limited text messages (specifically to download the app), a secure code to access the app, and an alert when your scores are available. The mobile number is used to authenticate your information in the app and is not used for any other reason. You must provide a U.S. or domestic mobile number to participate.
Using BigFuture School is optional, which is why the app isn't the only way you can access test scores or explore college and career options. For scores, you can always get your score report from your school, which receives a PDF report for all of their students.
