Description

China was doing standardized tests long before the SAT’s. Like a thousand years. Today, we are talking about the world’s original test- the imperial examination. We will talk about how it worked, its origins, its role in Chinese society, and how long this system was used. We raise the truly important question- is it possible to cheat on the imperial exam?! We finish up with thoughts about the most modern version of the imperial exam in today's China.
