Generic Descriptors	Outstanding 9 is the top score, but there is very little difference between a 9 and 8 both being scores for excellent papers which combine adherence to the topic with excellent organization, content, and insight; facile use of language; and mastery of mechanics. These papers demonstrate uncommon skill.	Superb Tthere is very little difference between a 9 and 8 both being scores for excellent papers which combine adherence to the topic with excellent organization, content, and insight; facile use of language; and mastery of mechanics. These papers demonstrate uncommon skill.	Very Good 7 is a thinner version of the excellent paper, still impressive, cogent, convincing, but less well handled in terms of organization, insight, or vocabulary.	Good 6 is an above-average paper, but it may be deficient in one of the essentials mentioned above. It may be less mature in thought or less well handled in terms of organization, syntax, or mechanics.	Fair The 5 paper is a thinner version of the 6.	Sub-Standard 4 is an average to below-average paper which maintains the general idea of the writing assignment, shows some sense of organization, but weak in content, maturity of thought, language facility, or mechanics. It may distort the topic or fail to ideal adequately with one important aspect of the topic. The 3 paper compounds the weakness of the 4.	Weak The 3 paper compounds the weakness of the 4.	Poor 2 is the score assigned to a paper that makes an attempt to deal with the topic but demonstrates serious weakness in content and coherence and/or in syntax and mechanics. It is an unacceptable grade for most standards.	Unacceptable 1 is the grade given to any on-topic response that has very little redeeming quality. It may be very brief or very long, but will be scarcely coherent and probably full of mechanical errors as well.	Non-Response 0 is given to a blank paper or a non-topic response.
