BigFuture School is College Board's free app for showing in-school PSAT and SAT scores, and fall scores are posting in batches: Nov. 5 for schools that submitted answers by Oct. 23, Nov. 12 for the last batch. Apple's US Top Free chart had it at #21 on Nov. 8.
Score dates
College Board's table for fall 2026 in-school testing ties the release date to when answers were submitted:
| Answers submitted | Scores available to students |
|---|---|
| By Oct. 9 | Oct. 22 |
| By Oct. 23 | Nov. 5 |
| By Oct. 30 | Nov. 12 |
The in-school testing window ran Oct. 1 to 30. The table doesn't say which batch a school is in, so ask your counselor. Schools giving these tests as part of a state testing program should check with their state for score dates, per College Board.
Who can use it
US students 13 and older who took the SAT School Day, PSAT/NMSQT, PSAT 10 or PSAT 8/9 and gave a mobile number during testing can view their scores in the app. SAT Weekend tests aren't covered. College Board's list of reasons for an "Invalid registration number" message also includes testing outside the US and taking the PSAT 8/9 before fall 2025.
From the 2026-27 school year, students in eligible AP courses can get access too, by giving a mobile number in My AP.
Getting in
If you gave a mobile number during exam setup, you get a text after test day with a download link and a secure code, then another text when scores are ready. Texts start at 6 p.m. ET so they don't land during class.
If you didn't, download the app and sign in with your test registration number. It's on your test ticket, your PDF score report and your online College Board score report. You can add a mobile number afterward.
Using the app is optional. Schools get a PDF score report for every student, so a counselor can hand you yours.
Data and Connections
Apple's App Store label (checked Nov 8, 2026) lists three categories linked to you: Contact Info, Identifiers and Usage Data. Apple shows these labels as the developer's own disclosure. College Board says the mobile number is used only for app access, authentication and score alerts.
College Board says no personally identifiable information is shared with the colleges, scholarship providers and agencies in its opt-in Connections feature. It does use your score ranges and school-provided information to decide which of their messages you see. Connections isn't available to 8th-grade PSAT 8/9 takers or in New York.
