Last semester's lecture videos and test performance

I am teaching the same history class this semester as last. It is face to face and I do a lot of lecture. Last semester I used an Apple TV, an iPad Mini, and the Explain Everything app to record each of my lectures, which I made available to students for their review. This semester instead of doing the same I am giving my students access to last semester's lectures. I tell them the content is substantially the same as is what is important for the exams. The only difference are the jokes. I then wanted to see if there was any correlation between their performance on exams and whether they had looked at those online resources.
