Many people studying chinese often ask themselves and others how many characters they think they know.
I was thinking, with the new custom flascard function, that there might be an easy way to get a pretty accurate number using plecodict.
If it would be possible somehow to get a frequency list of characters and a license to use it, and then, for example, divide it into groups of 500/1000/2000 etc. most used.
This way you could, depending on your level, choose a number and try out about 100 characters ( the more you test with the more accurate naturally ) then depending on you percentage calculate how many characters you know.
I'm not a mathematician, so I'm not sure if this would be a reliable way to test. Just an idea.
