About Pass
Built in Zimbabwe. For Zimbabwean students.
Pass exists because the resources Zimbabwean students need to do well — past papers, mark schemes, patient tutoring — shouldn't depend on what WhatsApp group you're in or whether your school's photocopier is working.
Why we built this
Every year, hundreds of thousands of Zimbabwean students sit ZIMSEC exams that decide whether they go to A-Level, to university, to their first job. The difference between a strong pass and a disappointing one is often just practice — and feedback. Past papers do the first half. Mark schemes do the second. We put them together with an AI tutor that explains every answer, then made it cost less than a week of combi fares.
“Built for the phone you have, on the network you actually use.”
Built for our networks
A lot of edtech is built for fast Wi-Fi and the latest iPhone. Pass is built for the phone you actually have, on the network you actually use. It loads quickly on 3G. It works on a five-year-old Android. It accepts EcoCash and OneMoney because that's how people actually pay here.
Who we are
A small team of Zimbabwean engineers, teachers, and designers. We grew up writing ZIMSEC. We know what works. We know what doesn't.
We're based in Harare, with collaborators in Bulawayo and the diaspora keeping us honest about what the experience feels like everywhere from a Form 4 classroom to a Lower 6 study group at midnight.

What's next
More past papers (we add new ones every month). More subjects in indigenous languages. A native iOS app. Mark scheme uploads from teachers. We're just getting started.
