A15: =VLOOKUP(P5,$Q$5:$S$15,3,FALSE)

In plain language, this formula tells Excel to look at the number in P5

then counts over three columns (column Q gets included in the count),
finds the number in column S, and puts that number into cell A5. Every
time you press F9, the numbers in column A will change as the ranks in
column Q change.

at their own level, leave those cells blank. When you give the students the quiz,
tell them the number to write into the top right hand box (next to the operation
