Is Kramizo free for OCR GCSE students preparing for Biology?

That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix B5: Genes, Inheritance and Selection practice with other Biology topics or even switch to a totally different OCR subject without paying anything.

Are the B5: Genes, Inheritance and Selection questions aligned to the official OCR GCSE Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published OCR GCSE Biology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real OCR 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 OCR.
How is B5: Genes, Inheritance and Selection typically tested on OCR GCSE Biology papers?
B5: Genes, Inheritance and Selection appears across multiple question types on real OCR GCSE Biology 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.
