I study in senior high school. I am a 16-year-old student in my second year. I study in Pekanbaru, the city where I live right now. There isn't a specific subject that I study exclusively in my school; it's much more all-around. However, I will say that the year I entered senior high school, it had a system where you were given three choices.

Expand your vocabulary related to education and academic subjects. Boost vocabulary complexity to elevate the overall score.
