the Akita Furusato Test ?
The Akita Hometown Test is one of the local tests held by the Japan Chamber of Commerce and Industry for the purpose of increasing interest in the region.
Some local exams focus on specific genres, such as tourism, culture, history, and food, but the Akita Furusato Exam includes questions evenly from six areas: history, tourism, festivals/events, nature, lifestyle culture, and industry. It can be said that it is characteristic.
In addition, the local test is not taken for the purpose of finding a job or changing jobs, and only people who really like it take the test, so the pass rate tends to be either extremely high or low. The pass rates for this year are 77.1% for 3rd grade, 69.3% for 2nd grade, and 35.7% for 1st grade, which are relatively high and stable.
