Q: How do I try a free CIE Information and Communication Technology question?

Just tap any of the four options on this page — no signup, no card, nothing to install. You'll see the correct answer and a full mark-scheme-style explanation within a second. Each visit shows a fresh randomly-picked question from the live CIE IGCSE Information and Communication Technology bank, so you can keep refreshing to try different ones before deciding whether to create a free account for daily access.

Q: Is Kramizo really free for CIE Information and Communication Technology students?

Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, across any board and any subject, with no card required and no trial countdown. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds analytics, but the free plan is genuinely free forever. We make money from the small percentage of students who choose to upgrade — not from selling data or ads.

Q: Are the Information and Communication Technology questions aligned to the CIE IGCSE syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Information and Communication Technology syllabus and reviewed for accuracy before being added to the bank. We match the command words (state, describe, explain, evaluate), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'll see on real CIE past papers. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

A hospital in Brazil stores patient medical records electronically. Under data protection principles, which action would be considered a breach of data security?

Accepted Answer

A nurse accessing records of patients not in her care — Award 1 mark for identifying unauthorized access to personal data. This breaches the principle that data should only be accessed by those who need it. "Encrypting patient records before transmission" is incorrect — encryption protects data security. "Backing up data to a secure offsite location" is incorrect — secure backups maintain data availability. "Using access controls to limit who can view records" is incorrect — access controls are a security measure.
