Well, this is what I think:
What you learn in school is good, but there are many

reading booksAsking people who knowResearching on the internetTrying it yourself!

And this is why English is important. It is the language the world uses to communicate. So if you can speak English, you can learn just

What you learn is up to you!

on passing a test
No matter how you do
