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

Are the Criminal Psychology: Causes of Crime questions aligned to the official Edexcel GCSE Psychology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published Edexcel GCSE Psychology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real Edexcel 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 Edexcel.
How is Criminal Psychology: Causes of Crime typically tested on Edexcel GCSE Psychology papers?
