In case it helps anyone, I worked out one way to do Route VI:
Sing the last note of the arpeggio they give at the beginning which will be note 5 of the scale (soh).
Then listen to the test chords with note 5 (soh) in your head.
If you hear note 5 in any chord, then it's a I or a V chord. If you don't, then it's a IV chord.
That's usually enough to pick out the correct sequence...

The iii chord also has the 5th, and that's just if we're talking about diatonic chords, which the game is not limited to (e.g. the bIII also has the 5th, and the game does use those quite a bit in later levels). This is a good tip for early levels when you're mostly dealing with I, IV, and V, but is going to be less helpful later on.

With Route VI, I highly recommend that, if you play an instrument, you use it while you practice this game. It makes the whole thing much more fun, and you kind of kill two birds with one stone because you train your ear while also getting some instrument practice in.
