CIE IGCSE Food and Nutrition: Diet and Health: Dietary Requirements FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Food and Nutrition?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Diet and Health: Dietary Requirements practice with other Food and Nutrition topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Diet and Health: Dietary Requirements questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Food and Nutrition syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Food and Nutrition specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Diet and Health: Dietary Requirements typically tested on CIE IGCSE Food and Nutrition papers?
Diet and Health: Dietary Requirements appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Food and Nutrition papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
