Last week I had increased my PT score by 7 points, but the one I took after that was 5 points lower. Has anyone had a fluctuation like this before, or do most people just consistently improve? Any advice/comment would help on how people generally improve from PT to PT

You will definitely see a fluctuation over the first 10-20 PTs with the goal being to reduce that fluctuation and develop some consistency in your target range. It's perfectly normal, just keep at it, do a thorough BR of the questions you circled during the timed test and make sure you BR with a clean test, then just use the analytics to figure out your weak spots and shore those up as necessary.
Especially when you're starting out, fluctuations like that are completely normal. All that has to happen to produce a 5 point difference is that you miss 2 more questions that you find harder in each section. As you progress, the number of questions that confuse you and seem really opaque will fall; until then, variability within your scores is normal.
I would say fluctuations are normal. However, I would like to qualify that by stating that your fluctuations should not be too extreme.
I don't think there's a quick fix of improving on PT's aside from blind reviewing all the questions that gave you a rough time and really focusing on your mistakes.
