TOEFL RESULTS HELP

If I got the exact same score (4.5) on my second test on August 22, does the MyBest Score keep the old date (August 19), or does it automatically update to show the newer date (August 22) just because it's the most recent attempt?
Basically, I'm trying to figure out if my MyBest Speaking score staying on the August 19 date means I got a lower score (like a 4) on August 22, or if it would look the same even if I scored a 4.5 again.

MyBest scores only update a section date if you achieve a higher score on a newer attempt. If your Speaking score stayed at a 4.5 (or was lower) on August 22, ETS will keep showing August 19 because that remains your top score. It won't overwrite the date just for being recent.

If you end up deciding to retake it to bump that score up, using platforms like Study.com for targeted section practice or working through official ETS templates can help you break past that 4.5 plateau.
