Pass the Past is a free iPad app designed to help students review U.S. and World History. The app was designed for students preparing for Virginia’s Standards of Learning exams, but it can be used by any student reviewing for a test on U.S. or World history. Pass the Past offers a large selection of multiple choice quizzes. Each quiz contains 25 questions that include visual prompts. There is a hint button that students can tap if they get stuck on a question. After completing each quiz, students can see their scores and see the correct answers to each question.

Applications for Education
Pass the Past isn’t the slickest app that your students will install, but it does provide them with clear set of activities to review a variety of subjects common to high school history courses.
