I am re-taking the LSAT in December. I have a score from when I took the LSAT in Dec. 2011. I was wondering if there is a way where I can submit a "completed" application, lets say in November, WITHOUT my old LSAT score that is due to drop off in Dec. 2016. I understand law schools take the highest score, but I don't want the 2011 score to even show or come up. All your thoughts & recommendations would be appreciated!

Well @gregoryalexanderdevine723 , I hope that is indeed the case and you got the score you worked hard for, but if not, you can always retake 2 more time!
Than I believe that I fall right into this category. Because Sept was my first, only and last.
They, in fact, see all scores for any LSAT you've taken in the last 5 years. However, many schools claim to consider only your highest. That said, I think top law schools tend to look more favorably on those with one high LSAT and no retakes. Namely, Yale and NYU who consider all of your LSAT scores.
Wait so. Every time you take the LSAT and apply for a school they see all scores? Or just the most recent one?
You can apply and request a hold until your December score comes back in January. They won't look/review your application until your new score comes in.
However, as @gregoryalexanderdevine723 stated, your score will remain on your record until it drops off.
I am going to guess - no, I believe the dates and 5 years are firm. Just wait until December to submit applications if you can and want the 2011 score to not be included. I believe it to be automatic that the LSAC CAS Report will include all scores of record. And given the 5 year rule, it's going to include that test, if a report is generated within 5 years.
