hi guys, I am very focused on my SAT prep right now and I am trying to do as many practice tests as possible.I seem to have an improvement of scores.However, what I would like to know is to what extend these scores are real.Do the scores aperson gets on the real SAT are close to the ones he gets on practice tests.The case with my TOEFL scores was such, I even did better on the actual test but is it the same with the SAT?
If you found it to be the case in the TOEFL, the SAT should be no different.
The big thing that causes people to do poorly on the SAT compared to their practice tests is the fact that taking tests is a stressful thing, so people tend to sometimes panic and stress out, causing them to forget simple things and not do very well. If you are good at taking tests and had experience with this before, the large testing rooms should not intimidate you and there is no reason to do lower on the SAT than the practice, since the questions tend to be of a very similar difficulty level.
Questions from the Question Bank, for example, are ranging in difficulty that corresponds directly to the real SAT, aside of maybe the top hardest questions. If you are doing well on those, you should be able to score well on the test. Doing official practice tests would be of additional value, of course.
why are there different dates for sat? do i need to give all the tests? what happens when i miss some tests?

You take the same exam on different dates, depending on what is convenient for you.
Also apart from the SAT, there are subject tests. Are you confused about them? Subject tests depend on your requirement – I don’t think they are compulsory.
