Is Kramizo free for WJEC GCSE students preparing for History?
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 The World at War, 1939–1945 practice with other History topics or even switch to a totally different WJEC subject without paying anything.

Are the The World at War, 1939–1945 questions aligned to the official WJEC GCSE History syllabus?
Every question is written against the published WJEC GCSE History specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real WJEC 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 WJEC.
