Since you have a wizard level, concentration is now a class skill, hence the max ranks are level +3. However, fighter doesn't have concentration as a skill, so while you will still have the same maximum ranks, the skill point from the fighter level is cross-class (i.e. 2 skill points)

Both.

Cross Class are skills you don't have in your current class you are taking regardless if you have them in a previous class or not.

07-01-07, 09:21 PM If a Skill is on the any list of a character's classes it is a class skill with maximum ranks Character Level + 3.

Just because something is a class skill for a character if they are advancing in another class that doesn't have that skill they still have to pay the CC rate. Your wizard may have Concentrate as a skill but while training for your fighter level you don't find it as easy to improve (too many other things to woory about?) so you have to put more effort (skill points) into gaining another rank.
