The eighteen questions never change, so taking it again today would mostly measure your memory. Give it a month or two of real ear training first, then come back and see what actually moved.
A straight snapshot of what you can already hear in a mix. Same eighteen questions for everyone, one attempt. There is no pass or fail. It shows you where to start.

Why this matters
You can't fix what you can't hear.
An untrained ear is the number one reason producers never get the sound they are after. It's like painting with a blindfold on. You can move every control on the screen, but if you can't hear what they're doing, you can't steer towards the sound in your head.
That is exactly what we teach inside our community: how to listen, how to use the tools, and how to get the sound you want.
If you're not in already, here's what's waiting:
Our intelligent, interactive ear training apps for EQing and compression
Free plugins that get you a better sound faster, and without the headaches
A 90-minute masterclass that finally tells you what the last 10% is
Weekly live masterclasses and Q&As
Live track breakdown sessions on your music
A room full of serious producers, not a comment section
Want to take this again? Give it time first. The eighteen questions never change, so running it again this week would mostly measure your memory. Come back in a month or two, after some real ear training, and see what actually moved. That second number is the one worth having.
