Hi
I got accepted to an Optometry school with my current OAT score and accepted the offer but before the acceptance I was scheduled to retake the exam. My question is if I retook the exam and scored lower would the school know about it ( I do not have it on my application)?
I am thinking if I scored higher it might get me to my dream school, but at the same time scared to score lower and my current school will know and reject me?
Any suggestions??!
Thank you.

I'm pretty sure you're required to tell them about each attempt on the OAT, and I've also heard that there is a possibility schools can rescind your acceptance if you score lower. I personally don't think it's worth it to study all over again and take the test when you have an acceptance in hand. Have you heard back from your dream school?

Thank you for your reply! Some schools that I applied to asked me to retake the exam! But if its going to affect me in negative way so I might not take it.
