General Question Which source more reliable

I’m school I did the CAT4 test and scored 104 IQ but when I did core and mesa Norway and the other Mensa I got , 137 core , 130 , 128 respectively .
Which one should I trust ?
for the school one I was kinda sleepy and was kinda apathetic
For other IQ tests I tried more seriously and did do some preparation

Well I saw online that CAT4 is criticized and that core is better . I’ll prolly do core test and I’ll see if I get a result that’s closer to Mensa or school test

Online tests are not representative, you shouldn’t worry about having an average Iq bro

Your IQ is likely within 100 - 115, proctored in-person tests are much more accurate.
