By the way, my score is 87 seconds, so I'd be rated 1200-1499 and most of my ratings are around 900-1100 and my chess mentor is around 1550, so it averages out into that range.

Okay. I got all of them solved in about 45-50 seconds. The issue is that these puzzles are poorly designed. They are mostly obvious mate in 1s and some of them have multiple solutions that you have not accounted for. There are some that have the opponent making terrible plays.

They in no way gauge a player's skill level.

To be perfectly honest, all of them except the last one took 2 seconds. I really don't think that seeing obvious mate in ones make a 2700+ player.
