Test on Joseon Dynasty History: http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=11820239234799651399

I probably could have found more effective ways to study, though.

12/30 ...not too good.

19/30 ... ouch!

Guess I need to brush up on my Joseon Dynasty history.

Don't feel too bad, guys, I wrote it as
1. an exercise is reviewing my notes for my upcoming test
2. to make up for how silly i felt after the basic knowledge test (my score was pretty embarassing)... I wanted to prove there is something I -do- know.
3. i forwarded the link to all the others in my program, so they can use it for their studies, too.

Did I know this stuff when I was still teaching English and just mildly independently studying? Some, but certainly not all.

OK.. I've just taken it. I know NO Korean history. I am hopeless... and my score should reflect that... hahaha.. a big lousy 6!!!!!!!!!!! I am so ashamed...

12/30 by making wild guesses on all but 4 or 5[/quote]

C'mon guys... take the challenge!

14/30.

[Cthulhu]

10/30 with a number of guesses. I think I read too much modern Korean history at the expense of the old stuff.

Ha. "Do you still call it Chosun, old-school romanization fogies?"

Gee, I wonder why. http://www.chosun.com

I got 10.

That's funny, I think of the Joseon Dynasty as being so modern it's not very interesting to me!

[mithridates]

Me too. All the history books I've read have been about Baekje and Japan.

I am more of a Goryeo Dynasty person myself... but with your Japan interest, Baekjae makes sense.
