Do schools look at your most recent score or your best score. for example if you got a 30 then took it again couple months later and got a 29?
MCAT scores

It depends, but the vast majority seem to take your most recent score (of the schools I looked at).
Some take your best subsection (like GWU) and some take average scores.
Take the time to research this because it may actually be important in deciding where you apply. I know a few people who took the MCAT once without studying much, got in the low 20s, and then took it again and got in the 30s. If they applied to a school that averages, that could be a problem.

To echo, It really is dependent on the school. I recall not too many schools combining scores and mostly all weighing most heavily the latest score.
