They check for level of language, grammatical errors, spelling errors, cohesiveness, etc. I don’t think they’re looking for phenomenal work, since even the greatest writers took years, sometimes decades to achieve their masterpieces. We’re given barely 25 minutes! I have the feeling that if you stick to the point, avoid using childish language, and make it a good length, that’s about a 5 or 6, depending on the mood of the grader.
