I recall during my first degree, I once rewrote an essay, making the essential points clearer. I still believe it was my best essay, but I got the lowest mark with a comment that it was "too simple".

I got the highest mark for an essay I wrote the night before it was due with no knowledge of the subject. Just used a bunch of clever sounding words and threw in a fake bibliography at 8am in the library.
