What happens to first score when you retake?

Do schools look at scores from both tries? Or does the second test overwrites the first?

Yes, the second test most likely overwrites the first exam; however, some schools (you will have to call and ask) take scores from your highest sections from both DAT exams. However, not many schools do this.

Really?! do you know which ones?

If I'm remembering correctly...I believe UNLV mentioned taking the best scores from all your DATs to date. Thats the only school that I interviewed at where I remember that policy in place.

Since I retook the DAT once, I saw that when the scores are pushed through AADSAS, all the schools receive both sets of your scores. You can not run from the first set!

Of course, they will take into account your higher scores, etc.
