I think the answer key didn't exist. You could argue syntax on each question, no matter how it was answered. "It says draw A line through both numbers, and you did two lines total." Or "you drew one long squiggle, that's not a straight line. You should've known to draw two".

Three questions per minute, I can imagine why it was nearly impossible to finish, let alone get a technically perfect score.

And you know this was only administered as a formality to anyone too dark to be "white".

Stupid article tells you take the test doesn’t give the damn answer key

Spoiler alert: if you were white, you passed. Otherwise, you failed.

That is the whole point. They are ambiguous so the test giver can decide if you passed or not.
