Strange Situation

I have applied to some school through pharmcas earlier with my horrible PCAT score from October 2008. Now I just wrote the exam second time last saturday, and it went very well. I also submitted an application to non-pharmcas school yesterday.
Now I did not select the non-pharmcas school as one of my pcat recipients for Oct pcat which was horribly low. However, I selected it for Jan score.
So the question is, will this non-pharmcas school know my IOctober pcat score?

I know that pharmcas sends all pcat score from previous trials to everyone. But what about harcourt assessment? Do they also send all pcat scores or just the one we took?

Thanks.

I dont know if they can see your Oct score or not, but it wouldnt matter becuz most schools jus take the higher PCAT score anyway. The better question is: does your school accept JAN pcat scores?

Yes, if you sent your January score they will also see your October score.

Yes. PharmCas forwards all PCAT scores ever taken to each school. What each school does with the scores is up to them.

My question was about non-pharmcas school.

Yes.

My question was about non-pharmcas school.

Yes, both your Oct and Jan scores will show up on your score report.

The only exceptions are if you selected the "No Score Option" and/or if the test date exceeds five years.

I wouldn't worry about them seeing a bad score as long as you retook the pcat. In my opinion I think they either won't care as long as your most recent score is better or they'll see that you're determined to keep trying.
