Do highly selective colleges look at individual ACT scores

"I am looking for advice on if a retake is required for ACT to improve the chances for admissions at highly selective school (due to the lower Stem scores in the second test). "

I’m a bit confused by this question . If you think a school is going to look past higher scores on specific sections and see lower scores on one specific test date, why wouldn’t they continue to do so with a third score? Another test won’t make the 33’s go away.

“While a 33 in M and S is good, you may want to see if he can raise that, to be more competitive for stem.”
Why would M35/S35 on a third test be better than the M35/S35 he already has?
