I notice that the top and bottom quartiles (in rank) mostly stay in their boxes; it’s the middle two quartiles which are much more spread. So we may at least be able to predict people for whom this material is likely quite easy, and those for whom it may be quite hard.
If you add in first review performance, though, you get a pretty good model: Performance in-essay and in first review strongly predict a Quantum Country reader’s future performance on that question
