This is just off the top of my head, but I think that if the admissions committee of a particular university has decided that the optimal way to evaluate SAT scores is to examine the student’s highest score on each section of the test, what you’re suggesting might be offensive because it tends to imply that another way of looking at SAT scores would be preferable. To me, it sounds as though you’re second-guessing the admissions committee’s policy.

I also don’t know whether an admissions committee would necessarily think that “without prep” is better than “with prep.” Since when is it better to not study for a test?
