Actually, I thought some of the things might have been typos in the transcription of your essay. The Oedipus commentary probably won’t affect your score, because the readers are not supposed to bring in any external facts or opinions, when assessing the essay.

You are not far off the length that seems to yield the highest scores. (There seems to be some theory that fluency, leading to longer essays, is a component of good writing.)

You might consider trying to come up with three examples on the real thing. Two examples are sufficient, but three might work better for you–you could try it out and see whether you still have time for the wrap-up paragraph.
