The system may receive an answer to a question from a user and determine a second unan- swered question having a threshold relationship level with the question. The system may compute a predicted probability that the user would answer the second question correctly, calculate a first comparative skill level of the user among a cohort of similar users, and rank the first comparative skill level of the user against a second comparative skill level of the cohort to determine a skill gap of the user. Further, in some implementations, the system may gen- erate a search query based on the skill gap of the user, and determine recom- mended content customized to the skill gap of the user. Provide an assessment to a user, the assessment having a plurality of questions Receive a response the assessment horn the user, the response to Determine which of the answered questions were answered correctly and which were answered incorrectly Compute probabilistic predictions indicating whether the user would have answered unanswered questions wrecty based on the questions ok aaaaa~ answered Il C•1 0 Cr) Cr) C•1 C•1 --.....
