If you are applying to college early in the fall, then you can always create any necessary work samples that may be required ("Honey, you need to do a lab report this week, because the college needs one.") If you have kept work samples from every year of high school, then use the BEST work sample you can provide. In other words, give them the scholarship-winning essay, not the one that has red corrections all over it, and give them their best math test from their best math year, not the most recent test when they were distracted by other things.
