Good Study Guide... With Errors

My history teacher recommended this app to study for the World History II SOL and I have to say this app is great! However one of the questions in the World History: 1500-Present shows a quote from Winston Churchill, but asks "In what order did these events occur?" and lists answer choices like "2, 1, 3, 4". Please fix this! Also, this app is ancient and should be updated to better fit the screens of the iPhone 5 and 6.

I highly recommend this app

The app "Pass the Past" was a quality app for reviewing, learning, or seeing how much you know about social studies. The app was by the same creator of "DK Quiz" another quality app. Both of the apps have the same layout, result page, and quiz format. "Pass the Past" gave challenging questions for around grades five and higher. I would recommend this app to anyone who would like to study for a test, learn something new, or play around with the app to see how much you know. The only thing I don't like about this app is that there is only ten quizes, so after you take them all there is no more use for the app. Overall I highly suggest this app.

Love This App So Much Just One Thing I Would Change

I love this app so much. I like how the app is set up like a quiz. The app is exactly like a quiz. You don't know if you get the right or wrong answer until the end of the quiz. The app is great and all but there is one thing I don't like about this app. There are little drawings on the side. I think the drawings are just distracting. If the drawings were not there I would give this app a five star rating. The app is still a great app.. I like how the app is set up like a quiz. The app is exactly like a quiz.

Great studying app

I liked that Pass the Past asked you questions about ancient history, and that it would have articles you could look at. I didn't like that it only had a little bit of questions and small articles. I would make it so it had a lots of questions and longer articles.
