Maybe you were seeing things? :/

Well that sucks. I had brought my guitar along to play my minor and major scales and arpeggios before the test, but apparently that didn't help at all. But I'm pretty happy that seemingly few did well on that, which means that doesn't set me far off from the average.

Aww cmon, I'm sure you could tell when the singer hit tonic (during the second measure I believe she did). And then you can just use your musical common sense to fill in the stuff like passing tones. In fact, that's exactly what I did while I did the other open-ended stuff. I had about ten to fifteen minutes left to doze off even after doing the written part plus my revisions to the dictation. We had so much time for the written open-ended; it was great.
