In regards to this increase in the score (if it were to be the case), do schools consider that the score improved or are they just looking at the bottom line, a number? To me one score doesn’t show the full picture, but I’m also not in admissions! To me it would raise more questions than actually say to me the kid is capable of BS academics: was the first test a bad day for math, did the student cram after receiving a subpar score, does the student ACTUALLY understand and retain what they crammed in the last month or is it short term retention which in the end is meaningless? Especially if releasing both scores because other sections are great, would it still send up a red flag to admissions when there is quite a discrepancy of a section between the 2 tests?
