CXC CAPE Chemistry: Petroleum and green chemistry FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CAPE students preparing for Chemistry?
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 Petroleum and green chemistry practice with other Chemistry topics or even switch to a totally different CXC CAPE 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 Petroleum and green chemistry questions aligned to the official CXC CAPE Chemistry syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CAPE Chemistry specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC CAPE 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 CXC CAPE.
How is Petroleum and green chemistry typically tested on CXC CAPE Chemistry papers?
Petroleum and green chemistry appears across multiple question types on real CXC CAPE Chemistry 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.
