Does new DAT score get reported even after submitting app?

[planisphere]

I already have one score. I am applying this summer, but I am thinking of retaking but am afraid I might get lower.

If I retake after submission, does the new score automatically get reported to schools to see as soon as I retake? I want to submit the new score only if it is higher than the one I wrote on the application.

I think this answers your question and is in the 2022 DAT Guide.

At the time of application, candidates are asked to select schools and/or programs to receive official results. In so
doing, candidates grant DTS permission to release official results to these schools. Results will be released only
upon authorization, or by decision of the Examination Program in accordance with Examination Program policies
(e.g., in the case of irregularities or falsification of information). Official results are reported electronically within
three to four weeks of the testing date to the selected schools and will be posted to the candidate’s My Account
page at ADA.org/DAT. If a candidate has tested more than once, a history of all testing attempts is reported."

I have attached the DAT Guide for you to reference.

Go celebrate, your scores are excellent and I have always been fond of the number 22 and that 22 DAT score speaks volumes to me and I have a very good feeling interviews are in your future..

Thanks for your expert advice! Everything needed is in the DAT Guide but I find a lot of students most fail to read it.

Yep... it definitely seems that way.
