E-Grader?

How reliable is Testbig's e-grader? is it the same used by toefl?
I have had some essays tested by grammarly and they had a score over 90/100 sometimes, but when I upload them into testbig, the E-grader scores me below 70 :( that just go me thinking...

I know that grammarly is good at grammar checking. I didn't know it scores essays too.

The e-grader will give some warning messages if the score is below 70. like:

Unique words: 177.0 212.727598566 83% => More unique words wanted.
Unique words percentage: 0.507163323782 0.524837075471 97% => OK

difficult_words: 72.0 86.8835125448 83% => More difficult words wanted.

so next time if you have more unique words and more difficult words, you may get higher scores.

If a word is not in the easy word list, then it is called a difficult word. For example, the following words are easy words starting with a:

a
able
aboard
about
above
absent
accept
accident
account
