Do supporting examples and numbers need to be factual?

Hi,

I'm studying to sit the GMAT in a few days, and have a few questions regarding the use of supporting evidence in the essay sections. Do stated facts and figures used to support an argument need to be factual? Can the facts and figures just sound realistic and reasonable? Since you are unable to do research on a topic under the GMAT exam conditions, and there is no requirement for information stated to be referenced, is it reasonable to assume that I can make up supporting evidence that sounds about right?

What do you think?

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
