My friend got a text/downloaded this app. I want to get it, too.

Currently, the only way to get access to BigFuture School is to provide a mobile number when you take the  digital PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT10, or SAT in-school administration during or after October 2023. and provide a mobile number as part of testing to receive your scores directly to your phone in the mobile app. 

If you didn’t provide your mobile number during the exam, you can always access your score and score information through a personal College Board account or contact your school counselor to get access to your PDF score report. You may have the opportunity to sign up if you take another in-school exam in the future.
