It depends on which tests you did. The only ones that might be considered accurate are real IQ tests - the Wechsler Scales and the Standford Binet, not the tests you do on line. It is unlikely that you had a score of 153 on a real IQ test.
Here is some information about IQ scores and what they mean, but we would need to know the tests to really comment on how accurate they are.

IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient. These tests are generally designed to measure your potential for learning not as a measure of what you know. Also, the reason that you recieved 3 very different scores is that these tests developed online are more for entertainment purposes rather than as a real measure of a persons IQ.
A real IQ test, administistred properly measures 5 different aspects of IQ. 1) abstract reasoning 2)logical-mathematical 3) perceptual 4) linguistic and 5)visual-spatial. Most online tests only measure the first two areas and therefore are not considered to be accurate.

Tests taken online are often too simple, and since you haven't listed otherwise, I'm assuming you took them on the Internet. (Considering the fact that the scores are so far apart, I would suggest getting tested by a professional [ i.e. the Mensa Society ].)
Usually, a 153 is an extremely high score indicating that you are in super genius territory. Depending on the tests you are taking, the other two scores could be from average to intellectually superior levels. Does this sound accurate? You probably know yourself more than we do.

Technically, you can score much lower than you're capable of, but not much higher. Therefore if they were real IQ tests, your IQ would in fact be around 150. HOWEVER if they were online, they don't really "count", sorry to say. Online tests are highly subjective, easy to cheat on if you were so inclined, and often don't even allow for the full range of possibilites. (I once took one that only went to 140, obviously not high enough to account for everyone.) Online IQ tests are fun but in no way reliable; so really, these scores are all inaccurate.

Who cares, take the third number..
IT'S HIGHER!
lol, but seriously, probably the first. Not cuz you're dumb, but I think it like only goes up to 120 or sumthin.. iono, but 153 sounds like too much.
Notice, there are a lot of iq advertisers on the web; most of them lie.

Potentially the first one, as you knew what to look for in later tests
