I can't think of a student whose LSAT practice test scores didn't fluctuate. Lack of consistency is perfectly normal. Take your timed PrepTests under strict conditions, and be sure to get enough sleep, eat well, and get moderate exercise. This stuff really makes a difference.
Students have an intuition that scores shouldn't fluctuate at all, which may have something to do with intuitions about grades. However, even grades aren't necessarily constant. While people tend to be jealous of the person who "gets straight A's," I can't think of someone who got only As. I often got As, but I also got A-s and even (gasp) B+s.

It may come from the idea that everyone has one "true" LSAT score, just like everyone supposedly has one "true" IQ score. Of course, taking an IQ test at age 20 and age 50 would likely generate different results. But I'd imagine that even taking two IQ tests a week or a day apart would likely generate slightly different results.
