I went to SLS session one and have already sent in my SAT/ACT scores from the respective websites to my candidate portal. People keep saying to report the official scores. Do these count, or do I have to mail them in?

I emailed the admissions office after my son got better ACT scores. The woman told us that we could either have them sent straight from the ACT company or fax/mail an official copy (the one you can download from the score site). We faxed the most recent but are having the older one sent direct since it affects his super score.
 
I have a question for you guys. I have taken my SAT 4 times and the first 3 times my scores were pretty bad, but then the 4th time I took it, I drastically improved my score by well over 200 points. I elected to send only that last score from collegeboard to West Point, because I got all my highest scores on that one test. But, now I feel as though I should have sent all my scores because I heard that West Point likes to see that you kept on pushing yourself and was driven on receiving higher scores. However, I feel that West Point may feel that I just got lucky on that one test because the other tests are more constant with each other. So, mabe they would look at the lower scores more than they would at the higher score. Sorry for the long message, but do you guys think I should send the rest of my scores to West Point or just stick with the higher score that I already sent?
