GMAT Score:750

I've taken the practice tests from the major Kaplan, Princeton Review, and MGMAT courses.

I've found that not only do I score slightly lower (around 650) on the Unofficial practice tests, but my scores are reversed compared to my official GMAT practice scores.

On my mba.com practice tests, I score high on the verbal and slightly lower on math, generally hitting the 700+ ballpark; whereas on the other websites, I completely crush the quant but fall dramatically short in the verbal sections. Now I'm not sure what to practice anymore...

I'd put more faith in the official GMATPrep tests for a more accurate assessment of your current abilities. These tests have official (retired) questions and the test used the official scoring algorithm. Anything else will be less than ideal.
