What are different schools GRE retake policies? Which ones take the best scores from a single day? which take the best from each section? Which average the scores of multiple attempts?
UC Davis says "When you take the GRE multiple times, we consider the highest scores in each section for examinations taken within the five-year period."

Cornell says "Cornell also has a policy of using your best test composite scores from multiple tests (even if your best scores in the various sections were not earned on the same test date) to help our applicants feel less anxious about any one test. If you experience test anxiety, you may leave an examine knowing you may return for a new examine without being penalized in Cornell's DVM Admissions selection process."

North Caroline State says "If an applicant takes the test more than once, the highest total score is used from a single testing date, not the highest of each section."

Ohio State says " We take the highest score from one exam. "

Washington State says "GRE scores are calculated by averaging the percentile rank on all 3 sections of the general test (composite score). If an application contains more than one set of GRE scores, the committee will consider the highest composite score. Only GRE scores received by the Admissions Office at the time of initial academic evaluation will contribute to Tier assignment. Scores received later will be used in the final evaluation."

Western University says "If taken multiple times, all scores will be considered, but more weight will likely be placed on the later score."
