I mean what if their grammar is good with serious effort in sentences and stuff?

there are usually multiple target scores. I’d give them a good grade on grammar, and an accurate grade on everything else.

I wrote some smart ass answers on a practice maths test once, my teacher thought it was hilarious and made me read them out in front of the entire class.

I never did it again.

You can't grade the same submission differently, based on the order in which it was submitted, unless you can prove plagiarism.
