Usage of quotes in the SAT essay

<p>Apparently, you can attach any “quote” and have it be quoted by any random famous person. ETS doesn’t care about accuracy, they care about making sure your quote actually makes sense with the prompt. I remember I wrote a random quote (and by random I mean you can make it up) and had it quoted by MLK (who did not say it) and I got a 12.</p>

<p>You don’t need quotes or the speaker to actually be from a piece of literature or anything. It can be from anything, but a really famous person (MLK, JFK, FDR, Obama, etc.) is fine.</p>
