I'm not sure what the "drawers" are supposed to represent - but if it is easy 
to hard perhaps a better idea would be something like a QSlider widget with 
"easy" on one end and "hard" on the other ?
This may also be something which could be added to a libkdeedu library so that 
it's available for other kde-edu apps.

Note that I think kwordquiz could work with quite a similar interface (maybe 
there is a possibility of sharing more code between these two apps ?)
