I fabricated examples for the January SAT. I used the titles and characters of actual books (actually pretty well known… Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley) and completely fabricated the plots. I got a 10, but it wasn’t my best writing. Accuracy with the examples you use don’t really matter. Twist them to fit your thesis. If you can make up examples quicker than you can pull them from the depths of your mind, go for it! What matters is how well you write, not necessarily the accuracy of what you write about. (Try and avoid cliche examples like 1984 though.)
