Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Geography?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown.

Are the Theme 2: The Natural Environment — Plate Tectonics questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Geography syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Geography 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.
