Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Economics?
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 Government and the Economy practice with other Economics topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything.

Are the Government and the Economy questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Economics syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Economics specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC 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.
