Sweet Idea: Show The % of Users Who Answered a Question Correctly

How can we help?

What if, after you answered a practice question, you were able to see the percentage of Khan Academy users who answered that question correctly? I think this would be an interesting way of being able to see where you stand compared to other students, and you would be able to judge how difficult a particular question is supposed to be.

I got this idea from chess.com's puzzle section. Chess.com has a collection of chess puzzles. The user's job is to find the best chess move (or series of moves) in the presented position on the digital board. After the user completes the puzzle, the site displays the percentage of users who solved the puzzle correctly on the first try. I think this would be an interesting thing to have on Khan Academy's SAT prep.

What do you guys think?

It also could indicate if there's a question that so many people are missing that Khan Academy should look into perhaps revising something about it to not make it so difficult to get correct. It may not necessarily be the question itself but the videos and articles leading into it.

It could also show the average time it took students to answer this question and the time it took you to solve it.

Not only would the average percentage of people getting it correct and the average time be nice. But see where some students would go wrong with their answer/work.

For example; if you're doing math and you get an answer wrong, show the typical place where people would go wrong (This would potentially mean implementing a text box with mathematical options/equations to input to track process).
