How does BigFuture connect a student’s PSAT-related test or SAT score to careers?

College Board has created a way to make the PSAT-related tests and the SAT even more useful to students through the development of a data-driven algorithm that allows for personalized career exploration matched to a student’s academic skills and interests. We worked with researchers at HumRRO to connect SAT Suite of Assessments scores with occupational skill readiness. This is done by matching the math and reading and writing skills measured by the SAT Suite to corresponding knowledges, skills, and abilities for occupations in the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network (O*NET) database—the nation’s primary source of up-to-date job information.
