Here's what scored my Writing 14/18 on the retake:
Not better grammar. Not fancier vocabulary. Better transitions. When I went from "y" and "también" to "no obstante," "a pesar de," and "por consiguiente," my essays stopped sounding like a student's and started sounding like a teacher's. The raters noticed. My Writing score did too.
The cheat sheet is the same list I taped to my desk during my retake prep — organized by task, so you grab the right transition for the right prompt.
