Lying on an application is building a trapdoor under your own desk.

An exaggeration on paper does not stay on paper. If it works, you arrive somewhere expected to do a thing you cannot do, and every day after that includes a little management of the gap. The risk is not only being caught, it is spending the whole job braced for it. You built the floor and you know where the weak board is.

Write the true version and make it specific instead of impressive. Real detail about something small beats a vague claim about something large, and it holds up when somebody asks a follow up question.
