@HugeOverachiever keep in mind that these graders are reading and analyzing essays in 1 to 1.5min. They are not going to have time to check the validity of one’s sources and I’m sure they could care less as long as said source substantiates the student’s argument well enough. I remember on the AP Lang exam last year, for the argumentative essay on polite speech (I think that’s what it was on) I made up a tv show to back up my thesis. I received a 5, so I do not believe that they research your sources : )
