Parent Update for PSAT/SAT Optional Data Questions
During testing and while students are using the BigFuture School app, they can choose to participate in the new Connections™ program, which is free to students. Using the Connections program lets your child connect to nonprofit colleges, scholarship organizations, and nonprofit educational organizations interested in students like them, without any of your child’s personal information being disclosed.
As part of the testing experience, your child may choose to provide basic information about themselves. College Board uses this optional data to provide scores directly to students, along with guidance about planning and paying for college, and customized career information through BigFuture School; to connect students to scholarship opportunities and colleges of interest to the student through Connections; and to maintain the fairness and validity of the tests.

To opt out your child from providing the "Optional Student Information", complete this form by signing and returning it to your school before the start date for the SAT Suite of Assessments Testing Window.
