I do feel like you can overcome this without it being too big of a deal, but I wish I had been better prepared in realizing what was happening and planning for that to occur. Piano Marvel does specify that the more you take the assessment, the better you become. Practice makes perfect, right? I do feel like this can become the case. I see this as a great tool for helping to improve your sight reading. But I do also see slight flaw in the system.
The test just may not be really showing your sight reading level accurately, purely because you may just be bad at taking this kind of test. There is quite a bit of pressure that comes with staying up to speed. While this is accurate to an orchestra or band, a piano player often has some flexibility in timing that is not allowed in this test.
So that pressure of staying right on top of the beat can cause undo stress that my affect your performance as well. Anything can get better with a little bit of work and effort.
