Attention GHS Junior Families

The National Merit Scholarship Corporation has made the following arrangements for Gabrielino students who took the PSAT exam in October, when there were some irregularities associated with the exam's administration. 

Given the conditions on testing day, the National Merit Scholarship Corporation has offered junior PSAT test takers two options for score reporting.   For consideration for the National Merit Scholarship Program, students were allowed to choose one of the following:
  1. to use their PSAT scores from this year’s administration on October 12th or
  2. enter the competition on the basis of their SAT scores from authorized administrations from October 2015 to June 2016.
