No problem. I attended kindergarten through university in Japan and I do not remember one occasion where I was taught where the accent was on a word. I am sure, though, this is taught intensively at technical schools for would-be-announcers that are not from around Kanto.
In foreign language courses in Japan, however, they
always teach and test you on the accent, which is why I was very surprised (almost shocked TBH) at the results of that accent quiz.
