Tomorrow, there will be an important examination being held for high school students in Japan. It is called, “Center Test” which is an abbreviated form of “National Center Test for University Admissions”.
The score will be a really important part of applying to an university. Since Japan is an educational credential based society, one have a hard time finding a good job without bachelor’s degree. Thus, the whole society is paying attention to this examination.
I was in China for high school, and they have a similar examination. What’s more, I took that twice in my life. On the second time, I lost my chance to enter a proper university, because I got a really low score in Chinese. I think it was unfair since I could speak Japanese, as well.
