<p>while this doesn’t speak to the question of whether an admissions person at MIT will see the original score report, it does put forth MIT’s stated policy on re-takes of the SAT:</p>
<p>“In such circumstances, we will consider scores from each section of both the older and newer versions of the tests and use the highest score achieved in each section for our evaluation. This is also the case if you have taken the SAT Reasoning Test or ACT Plus Writing more than once. Since reporting multiple scores will not hurt you, we recommend that when you register to take tests, you ask for all of your scores to be reported to MIT.”</p>

<p>note that the mit web site explicitly states that “reporting multiple scores will not hurt you,” as opposed to saying, “reporting less than x scores will not hurt you, but if you report x or more we’ll think you’re test-obsessed.”</p>
