If one is a 6 and one was a 3, your essay should automatically be sent to a third grader, but I don’t know what happens then. They must have had a reason for letting such a discrepancy stand: however, it does not suggest that the graders received different versions of your essay. It probably means that your essay fell outside the standard rubric and therefore was difficult to grade. Where the 6 person may have seen creativity, the 3 person may have seen lack of focus. (This is obviously just an example, not a real evaluation of your essay since I don’t know what you wrote.) That said, test prep services often say that graders are influenced by neatness and length, even though that’s not supposed to be part of the score.

If they won’t re-read the essay, then you won’t be able to just the score adjusted.
