<p>I know that you can fudge facts on the SAT, but does that mean you can completely make up examples as well? For example, can you completely make up a book, or a person from "history", without your score being penalized?</p>
<p>I was wondering about this as well. Doesn’t seem like a good thing to do though, haha.</p>
<p>I believe you can, as long as it’s not TOTALLY out there… i.e. “Mao Zedong showed great motivation by practicing magic every night to turn the capitalists into frogs, which he succeeded doing in late 2006” wouldn’t be a great idea.</p>
<p>I usually find myself mutating a few real historical/literary examples for my own purposes.</p>
<p>For example- Should school include more than just knowledge?
My examples to say yes: Vladimir Putin learning his leadership from the KGB, Holden in the Catcher in the Rye getting bored of school, and some fake statistics to support that employers require skills, not just knowledge. I got an 8 on that one at some diagnostic test (it was my first actually written SAT essay too, so…).</p>
