<p>Do SAT graders take off if the real-world information wasn't factual? I was trying to think of examples and I just made up a lie about the Bin Laden hunt and a sports event, because I didn't remember the exact details.</p>

<p>It relates to my thesis, but I had to lie because a. I didn’t remember the whole story b. to ensure it tied into my thesis.</p>
