What does it mean if on my practice tests, my math is high on one and verbal is low.. then the next one it switches.. and so on.... I keep thinking if I took my hightest verbal and highest math from separate tests.. I'd be golden..
Does it alteast mean that I have the capability of scoring higher total on the real test day.. which consequently..is in less than one week!
Switching strenght from verbal to math and back again...

It would help if you give some more concrete numbers about what you mean by "high" and "low." Our levels can vary somewhat from test to test just because we might get lucky and get more kinds of topics or questions we're good at on one test and then we get unlucky on another test and get more kinds of topics or questions we're bad at. So there's generally some level of variability. But it's unusual to, say, go from 20th percentile math and 70th percentile verbal to the reverse (70 math, 20 verbal) and then back again.
Also, were the tests from the same source or different ones?

You know, i don't have the exact #s in front of me and i'm actually taking the test tomorrow a.m... but i think it has to do w/ my concentration level.. on math vs. verbal.. sometimes i was more able to concentrate on verbal and sometimes math.. i hope this means i have the potential to score higher.. we shall see.. of course, i have a calculus test tonight first ugh. (there was snow in my area that made this rescheduled as so)...
