<p>Walking into the SAT planning to make up examples when you have such an incredibly broad range of real examples to choose from is a bad idea. I know everyone knows one kid who totally made up his examples and got a 12, but there are a lot more kids who completely fabricated their examples and got 6-8. You never hear about them because they don’t brag about it. </p>
<p>Inventing examples out of thin air should be a last resort.</p>
