<p>I have a question, when you write your essay, can you make up things? </p>
<p>for example relate an event, that have not in actual taken place in the history. </p>
<p>The examiners/essay readers who will be scoring won't bother to look over wether it is a fact or not right? </p>
<p>Can someone clear this out for me,</p>
<p>Well you can make up historical facts because nobody is going to check them. </p>
<p>You probably should not make up facts about well-known people, because essay evaluators may know the true facts but yes you can.
after all nobody’s taking points away even for very clear lies.</p>
<p>Agree with konspace because this is a writing test designed to test your writing ability, not your knowledge of facts. However, that still means that the fictional example needs to support/help answer the question. After all when we use examples from literature. Those characters are fictional too.</p>
