The GRE score select option is confusing

[jazzrap]

Guys,

 

Here is my situation. I registered two dates for the GRE this summer. I took one and got great scores, cancelling the other right away. But the problem is that on my online score report, it still shows that my "most recent test date" is the date I cancelled. It displays "Absent or not available". When I send the score to institutions, even though I would select one date only, the score report might still display my most recent test date, giving the admission committee an impression that I might have taken the GRE twice and the second time (most recent) is worse than the first one. In reality, I did not take any test on that so called "most recent test date". To see evidence suggesting that they can still see your most recent test date, here is a link to a sample score report (http://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/institution_score_report.pdf). In this report, there is a separate area that displays "the most recent test date".

 

What do you think?
