<p>I got a question: for the essay about perseverence, I wrote about some historical person but sort of messed up some minor facts. You guys think that the readers will catch on to the historical mistake and penalize me accordingly?</p>
<p>NOOO, they have openly said that they don't grade on accuracy
although it would look bad if you said Washington was the 19th pres of the US :D</p>
<p>In fact, see also this thread:

<p>no they won't. accuracy is not required. unless of course you say that hitler was a peace loving gandhist, i dont see any problem coming up</p>
<p>btw, i never knew before coming to this site that they don't grade on accuracy
so thank you guys for clearing this up ^_^</p>
<p>Elvy you can write that Stalin and Lenin were democrats.They won`t know penalize you even if they knew that this is completely incorrect ;)</p>
<p>i completely screwed up my history too- talked about john c. calhoun instead of henry clay. hopefully they dont take off !</p>
