The "melodic discrimination" portion was fucking infuriating because some of those melodies were so goddamn long

Do you mean from the two example rounds?

I think the songs may be shown out of order, or different songs altogether; my girlfriend just took the test here (she got a 69 8-) ) and I'm not sure if it's my brain playing tricks on me but I swear some of the songs were different

You are correct. It was not a joke

I got 116.

I agree that a few of the melodies were very long.

I thought I would've been able to pick 100% of the beat/tuning clips (a small number which I messed up) if provided slightly longer clips, some were just too short to make a totally firm decision. I also don't see why you can't hear them again, especially when some were different by seriously minute amounts.

I'd be interested whether I'd score lower/higher on a different day with different clips.

105, but with my laptop speakers. I'd like to take it again using headphones.

I was pretty good at the beat alignment, not so good with melodic discrimination or mistuning perception.

I started guessing the singing in tune ones wrong, just so I'd get them right :|

98. Better at mistuning perception with 105 than either beat alignment or melodic discrimination which were both 95.
