Gcse making stuff up

for humanities subject, i just make up random facts. like in history ik general ideas like homelessness increased after the great depression (or i assume) so i just give a percentage like it rose by 30%.
and for rs its comical how i just make up random quotes and sometimes use single words that are probably in the bible somewhere as quotes and then just waffle.

so far, no one cares, will those super tired examiners over at aqa or edexcel care? or even notice?
to be honest, I do similar things in geography, but I think that you need to know rough estimates- e.g. rio is responsible for 56% of brazil's gdp, but you could probably get away with a figure between 50-60%. I still wouldn't count on it- if the examiner catches you you could lose a lot of marks. overall I'd say know your facts within a decent range- making stuff up is risky if you have no idea.
