If you score low on your first take, say 20 or less (Just giving an example as this is the only number on my mind at the moment) and you do very well the second time, do you think the examiners would let you pass? even after scoring 20 just a month or two back?
Can the new scores be affected by prior scores?

No. If that were true, then everyone who takes the exam again would be able to pass..

I knew of someone who scored a 65 first time (only studied 2 weeks due to NTS expiring) and a 91 on the retake next window after really putting the time to study. So no, prior scores do not affect current scores.

No it won't affect. if your score 74 or 24 wont matter. I scored 54 on my first FAR try and scored 76 second time around. That is 22 point increase and i also know someone who score 74 on both tries. Every test is a new test.

I scored a 54 the first time I took AUD and an 83 the next time, from my experience if anything they gave me sympathy points because of how bad I did the first time.
