How graduate admission committees choose between TOEFL scores?

Question

I recently took the TOEFL test and my score didn't satisfy me, even the result is above the minimum requirement for almost all universities. If I will retake the test and send my new score for graduate admission, will the admission committees always choose the best score between two attempts or is it possible that only the recent score will be taken into consideration? I want to clarify it before retaken decision, in case if my score will decrease.

Answer 1

My understanding is that if you have taken the test several times they will take the best score from all of the tests.
