Another off-topic question:
How about using the adjective "known"?
"All students/Those students to whom is known when to use "which" and
"that" will pass the quiz."
KISS (keep it simple, stupid): I'd prefer a short and active "who know"
over a long and passive "to whom is known".
Those who know Heinrich Böll's satiric shortstory "Doktor Murkes
gesammeltes Schweigen [The collected silence of Dr. Murke]" will be
reminded of Prof. Dr. Dr. Bur-Malottke, who in his recorded lectures
wants the word "God" to be replaced by "the higher being we worship".
