Each B-school establishes its own policy for processing multiple GMAT scores. The most common policy is to average multiple scores. (Quantitative, Verbal, Combined Q/V, and Writing scores are each averaged separately.) A minority of schools will disregard all but your highest scores. (Again, Quantitative, Verbal, Combined Q/V, and Writing scores are each considered separately.) A few schools have adopted a hybrid approach, whereby they average scores from multiple tests unless there is a large enough discrepancy between scores-in which case they look only at your highest score. In any event, most B-schools disregard GMAT scores that are more than five years old.
If you have multiple scores or considering re-taking GMAT, check with your schools - that's all that really matters. Adcoms will provide you with their approach to multiple GMAT scores. Alternatively, you can post in the proper threads for each of the schools in the MBA Forum and I am sure you will get the info from the current admits.
