Essays are graded by a computer and one human grader - the scores of the two are averaged.
If those scores differ by more than one point (which only happens a tiny percentage of the time), a third human grader is brought in to resolve the discrepancy.
Also, I believe that a different human reads your argument and issue essays.

Hi All,
I have purchased and practiced with the GMAT Write1 and Write2 practice essays with Vantage. My question is can I do more practice with the e-Rater or will I be getting the SAME essays again?
THanks,
My exam is on Jan 3 so a reply today or tomorrow will be appreciated.
