Submitting SSAT scores from multiple dates for superscoring

My daughter is applying to boarding schools that superscore the SSAT.

In 7th grade, her overall percentile for grade/gender (8th/female) was 84% while her section scores were 95% for quantitative, 78% for reading, and 55% for verbal.

She is now in 8th grade and just retook the SSAT.

This time around her overall percentile for grade/gender (8th/female) was 88% while her section scores were 91% for quantitative, 87% for reading, and 77% for verbal.

So, she made dramatic improvement in reading and verbal but dropped slightly in quantitative.

Our question is whether it is best to submit the just the second test or submit both of them (for superscoring). The 55% in verbal on the first test looks bad, although one could argue she improved significantly from 7th grade to 8th grade.

Thoughts?
