Do most schools take the highest PCAT or average them?

Even though they see all scores, do most schools usually take only the highest PCAT score into account when considering the applicants or do they usually average all the PCAT scores received? What do most pharmacy schools do?

I am confused because I thought most look at the highest, but also found many postings saying that schools take the average b/c they see all scores.

I am so not ready for the PCAT that's in 2 days, if it's the latter then I am thinking about choosing the no score option.. 🙁 but if they the highest, I would still like to see how I did (on real test than PPT) and schedule for the next PCAT.

Does anyone know what the usual case is?

I can't speak for most schools but the school i am applying for looks for the most recent one.

Each school is different, the school I'm applying takes the highest. Others may take the most recent or average them

most I've seen takes the highest pcat score.

All the schools I've looked at say they only look at the most recent score

I've always wondered about this because I've taken the PCAT a few times( can't seem to get the score I need). So do they see all the PCAT attempts and take an average? Or is it just highest or most recent?

Have you tried calling your respective schools and getting an answer directly from them?

UF takes the highest pcat score... this past year they looked at that more than gpa.
