What's the BigFuture School App
BigFuture® School is a free mobile app that gives you control over college and career planning. You’ll get easy access to your test scores and customized guidance about college and career planning.
In this article, we’ll share how you can access the app and what you can (and can’t) use it for.
How You Can Use the BigFuture School Mobile App
Provide Your Mobile Number for Secure Access
If you took a digital PSAT/NMSQT®, PSAT™ 10, or SAT® in-school administration during or after October 2023 and provided your mobile number, you can access BigFuture School. After the test, you’ll be texted a link to download the app. Use the same number you provided to sign in.
Your account for the app is separate from your College Board account, so you won’t use the same login details or be able to see the same information as you do for that account, including AP® or weekend SAT information.
Get Your Scores Quickly
If you provide your mobile number each time you take a test, you’ll get a text message when your scores are available. Only your scores from the digital PSAT/NMSQT, SAT School Day, or PSAT 10 that you took during school are available in the BigFuture School mobile app.
You can also explore career interests with customized advice according to where you’re located and your test performance to help you figure out the best path for success.
Connect with Colleges, Scholarships, and More
Connections™ (where available) is the primary way for students who test in schools to receive messages from nonprofit colleges, scholarship providers, and government agencies offering education programs looking for students like you. When you opt in, you may receive messages from College Board on behalf of institutions through the BigFuture School mobile app, email, and/or mail.
Get College and Career Planning Advice
BigFuture School provides you with personalized college and career planning guidance, tailored to your current grade level and the time of year.
You’ll get messages throughout the year with important information such as the key steps to take to plan for college and which resources are available to help you pay for college.
Have a College Board Account?
With the power to plan at your fingertips, you can do a lot with the mobile app, although a few features aren’t currently available within the app. If you’re 13+ and have a College Board account, you can:
- Access your Advanced Placement (AP)® scores .
- Review your Student Score Report for the SAT if you took it on a weekend.
- Use BigFuture for college planning. It offers resources to create a college list, review your College and Career Planning Checklist, and match with scholarships and colleges via Student Search Service™.
