Okay, one of the many parts to admission at Oberlin Conservatory is the online Music Theory Exam.
I took it, but I really think there was a problem in the test. In the beginning of the test, there was a section in which there were six answer boxes, but only three questions. Therefore, I got a 50% on that part. That was on VERY simple "What note is this?" material. Yet, at the same time, I got a perfect score on notated triads and intervals, so obviously, I could read the notes.
My question is two-parted: because of the errors I think I found in the test, do you think I should send the Admissions Staff an e-mail? Also, how big of a role does the Music Theory Exam play in getting accepted?
My fear is that if I explain myself, that I will look bad in front of admissions, as if I'm trying to make excuses.
Also, if anyone knowns specifically, it would be nice to know what the minimum passing grade is for that test. With the errors, I got a 70.......

Please do not hesitate to contact the admissions office. They need to know that there is a possible problem with the online test. No on in admissions will take it as excuse-making on your part if you simply explain, clearly, what happened.
I cannot answer the second part of your question, which would also best be directed to the admissions office.
Oberlin is a wonderful school, and I wish you every success in admission!
