Sega Test

The Sega Test was a series of three examinations held by Sega over the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of January, 2021. The three tests were part of Sega's celebration of it's 60th anniversary, and as such covered Sega titles and projects from 1960 all the way to the present day. All three tests consisted of sixty multiple-choice questions, and were available in both Japanese and English. They were styled like a Japanese university examination; with a pre-registration progress, and five seminars held by Sega employees from around the world for "revision" before the dates of the tests themselves. Entrants were ranked based on their score, with a weighted marking system giving your "SEGA IQ" - i.e. scoring the same result on two tests gave a different "SEGA IQ" for each. Entrants could take as many of the three tests as they wanted, with their score for each stored and the highest result being the one that was used for your final "SEGA IQ". All entrants were entered into a prize draw, with everyone who got a "SEGA IQ" of 60 or higher getting a special medal graphic with their name and "SEGA IQ" on it. The latter were also entered into a second draw, for a different prize. However, only Japanese-based entrants were able to claim the prizes if they won.
