Hey everyone, this is first post here even though I've been coming to this site now for months now. First lets start off with all the stats:

PAT - 20
QR - 18
RC - 18
Bio - 18
GC - 20
Orgo - 19
TS - 19
AA - 19

Now, I am happy with these scores, but I also wouldn't mind to see a little improvement. Because of that, I had the idea of retaking the DAT and not sending the free score reports to any schools. That way, I could see how I did, and if I improved I would send the scores out, and if it didn't change or decreased I would not send it out at all and the schools I am applying to wouldn't see it.

I am not sure if I am missing something in the process, but this seems like a decent way to try and improve your application without any downside, unless I don't get in this cycle and then I would be forced to show schools my new scores.

Anyone have any experience with doing this or know why it might not work out as smoothly as planned? Thanks for any advice and help.
