If GRE scores show up on transcripts why do you need to send them to schools?

[Guest Gnome Chomsky]

My transcripts list all my test scores: CLAST, SATs I took 10 years ago, and GRE. So why do I need to send them to schools when they can see everything on the transcript?

Ask the schools. It may depend.

How is your grad school supposed to verify that the scores on your transcript are valid? For all they know, your undergrad accepts self reported scores.

Also, most institutions don't list test scores on transcripts. In fact, prior to seeing this thread, I've never heard of this before.

I went to check my unofficial transcript to see if the grades for this semester that just ended Wednesday had been posted yet, and that's when I saw all my test scores listed on my transcript, from something called the CLAST, to the SAT that I took back in 2003, to the most recent GRE I took. I don't know if th official transcript will look any different. I'm hoping these current GRE scores disappear and are replaced with the new scores when I retake it.
