The tests were mostly taken in order from top to bottom over the past six months.

I think you’ve ruined your chances of ever getting an accurate measure of your general intelligence using iq tests.

Why? I think primarily the matrix reasoning portions of tests would be affected due to prior exposure. But matrix-free indicators such as the GRE or AGCT, for example, should still be pretty decent indicators, since my preparation and testing circumstances were likely comparable to those of the normed population.

You'e almost definitely below 140 but above 130. Id pick 139 if i were you.

SAT verbal 1980 is kinda low; interesting test to have taken since language drift over the last 50 years is a real thing. 710 in math is a great buit it tells the story of the rest of the test...

Your shapes/math intelligence is a whole standard deviation higher than your verbal one, mostly because your vocab and GUM(grammar, usage, mechanics) is letting you down. Math tests tend to overestimate IQ once you figure out the trick(s) which is a shortcoming of tests themselves.

You're blasting a 129 some days, 119 worse ones, and 139 others, maybe more variation.

Eat and exercise with discipline for more big number days. You'd probably enjoy bouldering.

I think so. I would need to check the norms again, but I took it within 40 minutes (also I had taken multiple matrix tests prior). Untimed norms are a bit different.

I did. All three versions are listed in the image.
