School, subjects and future careers are core AQA topics — you will be asked about them again and again across speaking, writing and reading tasks. This vocabulary lets you talk about what you study now and what you plan to do later. Knowing how to name your favourite subject with a reason, and how to say what job you want, is a guaranteed feature of the speaking and writing exams.
