Any way to not forward old, lower PCAT scores to Pharmcas or your applied schools?

Lets say I end up scoring 'worse' on my last PCAT compared to the first time I took it. Is there anyway I can only forward my highest PCAT score? Or does Pharmcas get 'all' of my scores so that all the pharmacy schools I'm applying to can see I've grown dumber? 😳

HAHA 😉 That's what I'm worried about too! I just took this past PCAT and I had already taken it in October of 2004. Even though I'll probably be denied/accepted to most schools before they ever see my new score, I would be really embarrassed for a school that accepted me to see a more recent, lower score! I feel like overall I did better this time but maybe that's cause I wasn't as nervous. I think I did better on everything 🙂 except Chemistry 🙁

I took it in 10/2004 too... when the 'exact' same essay was still experimental 👍 (Got a 76 👎 ). I thought the chemistry part last year was sooooooooo much easier. I'm in biochem now and yet I still didn't finish almost 10 questions on the chem section. ughhhhh

I've been considering registering for the January PCAT but wouldn't that look horrible to take the PCAT 3 times?

but isn't it better to take it again and get a better score than to keep a low score? i think it at least shows the school that you tried and you did improve. they give the pcat 3 times a year for a reason right?
