Attending SD without BCT


Attending the Senior Department without doing the Basic Competence Test is only for the students of Pu-Men's own junior high students, unlike the general way of going to senior high school in Taiwan, students can have a unique and special way to use if he/she really wants to study the senior high and enjoy the life here.
