줄 알다 VS 다고 생각하다 Hi, what's the difference between for ex. 내가 알고있다고 생각했다 and 내가 알고있은줄 알았다 ? Is one more common than the other and/or less formal ? 감사합니다 !

내가 알고 있다고 생각했다 literally means "I thought I knew it.". 내가 알고 있는 줄 알았다 literally means "I knew that I knew it." and it means "I believe I knew it." You can use both sentences interchangeably and there is no difference in terms of its formality. The formality is commonly decided by the sentence endings such as -이에요/예요 or ㅂ/습니다.

The Latest one(내가 알고 있는줄 알았다.) is a more informal one.

있다고 생각했다 is also a little more textbook. 줄 알다 is more regular and colloquial
