My PSAT Scores were:

95th% Verbal. 71% Math

I hear it isn't too hard to improve in the math area, and I've noticed the overall trend is that math is higher than verbal. (On this board anyway) Any tips would be helpful. Thanks!

I assume that's percentile.
I'd say for you to check out Incognito's post under "Taking the test cold...".
Really, just take practice tests over and over and understand the concept..that's the advice I'd give you. Good Luck.

do YOU have any tips for verbal?

Well Incognito...
I think the most important thing is just reading. It helps a lot just to read from an early age to get a feel for author's differing styles. Also, I might suggest that whatever score you do get, not to be too angry or upset and all that.

Also, just read for pleasure. This is what I contribute my decent score to.
Good luck studying.
