A note on scope: practice on Kramizo is text-based. It covers the SEA Mathematics and English Language Arts papers in full except for items that need a picture — bar graphs, maps and diagrams. Graphic-text practice uses tables, timetables, price lists and notices, and data in Statistics is given as tables rather than drawn graphs. Work through past papers alongside it for the picture-based questions.
