Top scores will get you on to the interview to the technical person hiring for the job. The Screener will also be looking for "intelligence" and "readability." "Can this prospective employee understand our endeavor and communicate with others in our corporate or government environment?" Never underestimate the importance of writing well for the screener who will get you on to the interview.
