Civil Service Korean History Exam: Your One and Only "Practice Notes" is Your Companion to Passing!!

It is true that 『Korean History』, a core subject required for various exams including the civil service exam, requires a lot of memorization to study.
However, that doesn't mean you have to memorize everything blindly.
Because, any test has a “flow of questions” and “frequently appearing topics.”

Mr. Shin Hyeong-cheol, a well-known “Key” instructor at Eduwill Korean History, has already published “Key’s Korean History Practical Notes (Revised Edition)” last year (2022), a Korean history “handwritten note” textbook that prepares for such “frequently appearing topics” and “flow of questions.”
The newly published 『Keysight Korean History Practice Notes - Revised Edition (2nd Edition)』 not only reflects the most up-to-date exam trends, but also includes only the most refined content distilled into key 'keywords', further enhancing study efficiency.
『Keysight Korean History Practical Notes - Revised Edition (2nd Edition)』 was created based on notes taken directly by successful test takers who attended Professor Shin Hyeong-cheol's actual lectures, so it has a very realistic feel. Contents that need to be referenced or memorized while studying are marked in a separate color to increase readability, and it is designed to give the effect of adding notes directly so that test takers who are studying can experience the actual lecture firsthand.
Additionally, the overall development of the book is structured in line with the author's best-selling book, "Eduwill Civil Servant Basics," so that students can study on their own without much difficulty.

Now, while studying with the 『Keysight Korean History Practical Notes - Revised Edition (2nd Edition)』, add any new information you learn directly to the margins of your notebook.
Now, I have my own unique textbook that I can review multiple times right before the exam.

Modern and contemporary history is planned to be organized through a chronology!!

Among the contents of Korean history, 'modern and contemporary history' is given a high level of difficulty because numerous events occurred in a short period of time.
Therefore, it is essential to understand the flow of history and memorize the causes, processes, and results of major events.
In this regard, the modern and contemporary history section of 『Keysight Korean History Practical Notes - Revised Edition (2nd Edition)』 was planned and organized so that test takers can organize events by year to grasp the flow at a glance and memorize them efficiently.
I hope you will experience the effects yourself while studying.
