After retaking the DAT do schools look at your best overall test or the best individual scores? Is this practice different at different schools?

Depends on the school. Most won't let you combine scores from different tests though.

I think they look at the scores you send - in some of my interviews I was asked if I took the DAT multiple times but I only took it once so I cant tell you what their reaction would be to retakes

jigabodo do you know which school will allow a combination?

No, sorry. I only took it once as well. You can try doing a search though. I think the same question came up last year as well, and a few schools were mentioned.

Tufts will look at the highest scores.

The highest individual scores?

The highest individual scores?

I don't think the highest. I think they look at the last score which is basically reported on your AADSAS application. However, there is a chance that they ask about your scores on the first or second try too, if you have taken it multiple times. I guess it depends on the school.
